Is force cast really bad and should always avoid it?

Question

I started to use swiftLint and noticed one of the best practices for Swift is to avoid force cast. However I used it a lot when handling tableView, collectionView for cells

Answer 1

Others have written about a more general case, but I want to give my solution to this exact case:

guard let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(
    withIdentifier: PropertyTableViewCell.reuseIdentifier,
    for: indexPath) as? PropertyTableViewCell
else {
    fatalError("DequeueReusableCell failed while casting")
}

Basically, wrap it around a guard statement and cast it optionally with as?.
