Why should I use this instead of:

- React Native

- Vue.js + Cordova

- Scala + JavaFX

- Kotlin Native

- (whatever I missed here)

?

I am in a mood to learn another language and framework; how would you persuade me to pick this one instead of alternatives?

Can you provide a summary of the convincing arguments from that article, in 1 or two sentences? I plan to read it myself, but I think the parent comment is relevant.

From the article:

- The advantages of reactive views, with no JavaScript bridge

- Fast, smooth, and predictable; code compiles AOT to native (ARM) code

- The developer has full control over the widgets and layout

- Comes with beautiful, customizable widgets

- Great developer tools, with amazing hot reload

- More performant, more compatibility, more fun

You missed Xamarin, which seems to be popular enough to have its API documentation prominently ranked in search engine results, suggesting there seems to be .NET programmers doing mobile development.

I would add NativeScript and Weex to the list.

However, the Flutter advantage might be its performance.
