As a JS engineer with experience using react I can say that Flutter/Dart is so much easier from a development perspective then react-native. I've done a little bit of swift development as well and the ease/speed of development is comparable.

Maybe react-native is easier if you don't know react but for me it seems to keep only the worst parts of react and forcing you into using a lot of components for ui that I found to be poorly documented.

If you can manage to remain inside the Expo dev-loop, that personally is my preference for ease and first in class DX.

I’ll definitely continue to observe Flutter/Dart, but the investment/payoff doesn’t appear large enough yet for our use cases.
