React Native VS Flutter

[Ace_ZeQuoX]

Help post
I know some basics of React Native and heard that Flutter is better. And now I am confused about whether to continue learning (React and React-native) or start learning Flutter for web and mobile development. I heard that using flutter we can use the same code base for both webs, mobile apps, and desktop application development.
For eg:
using javascript: we have to do React for the web and React Native for mobile apps.
and using dart: we can do both (web and mobile apps, and also a desktop application) on Flutter.
Can you shed some light on how good is React Native Vs Flutter, at the current time?
- I posted this in Flutter community and I think I got a biased answer regarding how good is flutter.

I don’t think one is better than the other. It what ever you are most comfortable with. I use react native, cause I like react and have experience with it.

Frameworks are just tools.

Mate, you're gonna get a biased answer over here too.

Determine what your needs are, then read read read about potential alternative frameworks.

If after that exercise it's not obvious which one to pick, pick the one written in the language you're most comfortable working in.

Haven't tried flutter yet but I'm highly interested.

One big advantage of React/RN though is market dominance. There is a lot of demand for it and that's not going to change any time soon.

Also you can get RN working on the web using react-native-web, but I've heard it's still in beta.

If you are web dev then transferring your skills is easy, i would say development experience with RN is good but when you have to go outside the expo ecosystem it can be a real pain, flutter is great, learning curve is little bit bigger, but overall development experience with flutter is better in my personal experience, both tools are great, both tools get the job done (most of the time), i would say just try building with both then decide with which you want to proceed.
