<@U0HUJ25V1> I've seen "old syntax" pop up for new users here and there, and I was wondering where it was coming from. One guy got back to me and explained he had read it in the guide. We have a chapter explaining what goes on behind the scenes with the builders, but he probably just skimmed it and thought that was the way to go (`this += Button` etc). I wonder if we're better off just showing the shiny syntax to avoid confusion. What do you think?

Same here. I worked through the guide and have been a little bit surprised to be taught the "wrong" way first.

And more important: When looking something up after working through the guide: I always find the wrong spot first.

Maybe convert it to some kind of blog post?

<@U5WPB8H99> Yeah, good idea :slightly_smiling_face:

<@U0F3291QE> <@U4Z1U6LJK> - agree completely - when you are using the guide as a cookbook / quick reference you just want to see the idiomatic way of doing it

Anybody up for removing the unwanted stuff perhaps? :grin:
