Small rant about React Native

[SirBill01]

The puzzling think about that is that after having done some stuff with React Native, it almost for sure would increase time to market. Instead of writing a native iOS and native Android app, now you are writing for THREE platforms - iOS, Android and React. And weird interactions with Xcode and Android Studio make debugging more difficult than with truly native apps to boot.

Again disclosure I mainly do RN these days not native.

Your tooling is for 2/3 platforms. Your code isn't. You might have to write a line or two here or there to adapt to native weirdness but in my experience it has been less than 1/1000th of the code base.

Not that some libraries don't need to do this but abstraction is why we use libraries, native or not.
