Flutter was good, but now with Liquid Glass™ I find react native (specifically expo) using expo-ui far far better at designing apps that match their native look and feel.

Heh, this is indeed rather unfortunate. Right as I finally got the look and feel to a relatively polished point, Liquid Glass dropped, making it rather obsolete. But to be honest, the app doesn't feel that out of place anyway. I don't know if that says something about me or about Liquid Glass, but it does say something.

Native look is just a debate among developers, none of the top 10 apps use native look and I never heard any user care either.

Personally I find that it's not using Liquid Glass an advantage, at least I don't need to worry about contrasts.
