Description

Xilem still seems to be in a very early stage, hardly any examples or documentation.
I cannot even figure out what the drawbacks of druid were that triggered moving to xilem. There seems to be no crate either.
For starting a project on a GUI now, druid still seems to be the way to go. However, as stated, druid will no longer add new features, so it would make sense to migrate (if possible) to xilem at one point.
A migration guide would be very helpful here.
Do you plan any or is there already something available? What were the drawbacks of druid, and how are they addressed in xilem?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's current documentation and examples to establish what Xilem supports and what migration information already exists. Compare the documented differences and limitations between Druid and Xilem, then make the migration guidance complete enough to explain whether migration is practical and how the projects differ.
