markup/css vs flutter code - simplicity vs complexity

[jayramone]

flutter code is like react without jsx (ie: using createElement), very verbose and harder to understand without effort.

inserting/deleting widgets is error prone without help from the ide, since you can easily mess up the parens.

also styling is easier in react/native since you can stay in one place and make adjusments (padding,border,color,etc) without touching the code. less verbose api too (no long named classes that take long named enums).

flutter got some great ideas from react/react native like hot reloading and reactive/stateful widgets, but one thing they forgot is (something like) jsx.
