The most annoying thing for me now is

androidx.compose.material.Text

vs

androidx.compose.foundation.Text

🙂 Not that big deal, but since I use a lot of

Image

components, the foundation’s Text comes into place in almost every situation. Do you plan to bring some order into packages/components?

There is no

androidx.compose.foundation.Text

is there? It should be

androidx.compose.material.Text

and

androidx.compose.foundation.text.BasicText

IIRC. The former understands material terminology, themes, etc. The later is design-system-agnostic and used as a building block for material as well as any other design system that wants to provide a text widget.

package androidx.compose.foundation

…

It’s deprecated, but it is still there

Ah, ok, that exists only for binary compatibility/migration. That will presumably be deleted before a

1.0

release.

If it’s for binary compatibility, may be make it DeprecationLevel.HIDDEN?

Yeah, or since it has been a couple months, I think I'd just delete it at this point. I'll post a CL now and see what @Siyamed thinks.

Sounds good, it has been a while
