In that case it would probably make more sense to just use NativeScript instead of React Native.

NativeScript doesn't have tight integration with React, and I don't really want to build that layer myself.

Angular 2 is pretty awesome and faster than React.

No. I'm sorry, I'm sure that you think Angular 2 is great. It might even be faster than React. But I'm not falling for it this time. Never again.

Fool me once, Angular team...

I can't find the benchmarks that I'd based my comments on to be honest, and I have to get back to work. :|

From what I remember, the final version of Angular 2 added a lot of performance, which pushed it ahead of the latest React in performance.

I did find this:

But the Auth0 benchmarks disagree and show React is faster:

Angular 1 is terrible performance-wise; that much is certain.

NativeScript looks really promising. My colleagues have used it for numerous client apps. It's not as mature as Appcelerator Titanium so it doesn't have as many plugins for advanced things like video recording or audio playback but if it continues to get traction, it could become a really good option.

I'll happily avoid anything made by Telerik for the rest of my life, thanks though!
