OAStackView

I was wondering what the difference was between this control:

To be honest, I didn't know about OAStackView, but now that I do I can give you a comparison.

My implementation aims to do the same as OAStackView, but my implementation:

- supports all distributions

• is written in Swift
• supports layoutMarginsRelativeArrangement
• supports animating hidden=true
• has an extended test suite that compares the produced nslayoutconstraints against what the original UIStackView produces. So I can 100% guarantee the same behavior.

The only benefit of OAStackView is that it supports iOS 6 because it's written in obj c. Apart from that, no benefits compared to mine.

Your drop in replacement feature is the most important feature.

I tried using OAStackView and I was running into bugs with it its intrinsic content size. Also, it seems to use auto-layout under-the-hood which seems a bit silly to me; TZStackView seems to be doing more direct layout. I ended up using TZStackView in my project.

I'm using TZStackView from Objective-C btw.

TZStackView also uses auto layout, but instead it mimics the constraints EXACTLY of the official UIStackView in iOS 9. The reason OAStackView is buggy is because it does not, instead it tried to reinvent the wheel.
