Titanium was worse

alexandr1uson Transition to React Native

I want to write small review regarding replies on this link. I am working as an mobile engineer for more than 8 years now. I have worked on native iOS, Android, Xamarin, Unity, Titanium, Flutter and React Native. Long story short I have never been happier since I switched to React Native and Expo made everything so much better. I am not comparing it to native but I can compare it to Flutter.

First of all Flutter has major performance problems on iOS. Using native views (MapBox, ArcGIS) inside Flutter app has subpar performance. Flutter has weird styling compared to anything I have ever worked with. Styling in Flutter is very unintuitive (ex: Global theme for button width). You can’t OTA update Flutter code. Weird scroll behaviour. I can go on and on but personally I would never use Flutter ever

Most comments under the link:

React Native bad because Flutter good.

React Native bad because native good.

React Native bad because Y is good.

My company uses Matrix for internal collaboration. We use Element. It is quite good. Element is quite buggy tho.

alexandr1uson Graphical User Interface Using Flutter in Embedded Systems [pdf]

100% my experience. Everything feels backwards. Dart is huge turn off, there are too many widgets, non native views, horrible native view support. Flutter devs brag about how fast their apps are but honestly I have yet to find Flutter app which isn't sluggish
