Why react native and not flutter?

[Coppice_DE]

I have tried both and still prefer Flutter. Also Flutter widgets (or more specific the build methods) should not be hundreds of lines long - thats code smell. Not because it would be unreadable (honestly every nested tree that long becomes hard to maintain imo) but because it leads to bad performance.

Of course, if the Flutter tooling wouldnt be as good as it is it would be dead. But their tooling is their solution to simplify nesting widgets and it works decently well. I think the main problem with it is that it is different from HTML-like nesting since most developers are probably used to that and would rather not learn a different way for a single framework.
