Of all the different dev stacks I've used Flutter has given me the fewest issues across updates. I've never run `flutter upgrade` and then had serious trouble getting an existing project to run.

Compared to js, react & react native, python, ruby etc I've just never hit the same bitrot so they're doing something right.

Absolutely true. It’s so much easier to upgrade dependencies and if it works / most likely works. We had a small UI regression in a very large app and that hadn’t been touched in 1 year.
