    I have literally had a mobile team threaten to quit if we adopted Xamarin after they built a small app in it lol.

      Xamarin can be pretty tough if you don't have a good appreciation of Xcode, iOS and UWP development and tooling, and underlying differences.

        Oh, they understood it, top tier mobile devs, they just thought it was trash. Drastically preferred to do native. I went to bat for them, and we shipped a beautiful app on time.
