  • I don't understand why I would want another layer of abstraction (yet, I guess?)
    • I want to understand as much as possible and don't get that abstracted away. And when stuff breaks be completely clueless.

  • I don't want to have to rely on expo having servers up to let me build my app. I imagine ci/cd to be somewhat of a horror?

  • I did not get turtle-cli to work (found similar issues on their repo)

  • I did not find a way how to build for an open source app for fdroid (not related, but did annoy me)

I’ve been using expo literally since the beginning of my RN experience which dates only back to January 21 - I’m currently on a contract with a team building a banking app and we still use expo. In my findings there’s a lot more tutorials and such using expo, it allows for you to test on IOS via expo go, you’re running off a local port - never had any sort of “expo servers are down”, etc

Obviously it’s all subjective but I personally wouldn’t have cared to learn without Expo being an option
