I could write a Lovecraftian short story about my experience with React Native. Trying to turn a web app into a delightful React Native app nearly sank me into depression & burnout. [Edited to clarify that of course I can't blame my mental health problems on a UI framework... but I keep the formulation for the sake of sympathy with anyone else who may feel less than "delightful."] It was pretty cool at first, after a couple of months of trying to get the thing working decently without crashing, lagging, or just sucking, I gave up on the whole project. I don't doubt that many people use React Native with delight. But there are aspects of it that are likely to cause frustration. It's a mashup of two incommensurable platforms, and in the gap between them there is horror.
