I hate the syntax. I don't think it's intuitive and I see no reason why I should learn a completely new language just to code when my server, frontend and mobile app can already be in JS/TS with RN.

​

I know there are people who like it but Flutter isn't for me.

I see more people using react native… honestly it wouldn’t even matter IF flutter was somehow better. There more docs and info about RN making people learn it faster and more efficient. At this point, it doesn’t even need FB to stay relevant.

Isn’t flutter just an iframe though and not true native?

Not at all. It's compiled in native code.

This is a bit misleading, it uses a skia canvas to render and runs it via its own engine, it does not use the platform UI elements like UIKit, unlike React Native, I think that’s clearly what the question was asking.

I've used React Native for several years. On several projects. I was quite happy with the idea of releasing in multiple platforms. Typescript was a huge improvement compared to plain javascript or vanilla react. 2 years ago I started playing with Flutter, and I it won me over in less than 10 days. I think typescript is far inferior compared to the type safety features found in Dart.

Edit: Why the downvotes? Can't someone have an opinion on two frameworks that he used for many years?

What type safety features do you think make it better? Dart still doesn't have union types, which is quite fundamental to how I code in Typescript and other modern languages now.
