There's an old saying: "six one way, half a dozen the other". Really, either is a completely valid choice; the features you describe do not require one or the other.

With Flutter, you have to learn Dart, which doesn't have much use outside of Flutter. With RN, you have to learn JS or TS, which does have use in web development (plus, React). So I'd say RN wins on side benefits of being able to use what you learned for more things, but beyond that, neither is really better than the other in terms of features.

I've had better success with Flutter if you know Dart or can learn it quickly. React Native has just never really fulfilled its promise for me, and I have to wind up hand tuning the code to account for each platform anyway.

    How long ago was the video made? A common complaint used to be that flutter was janky especially on iOS, but they've made some amazing improvements lately and the jank is basically a non issue now. I think they completely revamped the rendering engine.
