Vs pure native: let's you avoid ad-hoc mutating the UI, makes state more manageable and predictable - the same thing that got React popular in the Web space, albeit with more competition. Not super-familiar with Objective C and Java-Android libraries so references to native equivalents would be appreciated. Now compared to other js-based solutions is solves many of the problems they generate, such as poor java/objc interop, blocking javascript operations etc. But you'd have to compare them ad-hoc. The Titanium framework IMO was the state of the art before React Native, javascript-wise it solved perhaps all of the same problems.
