I can see how it is getting traction.
Static-typed java lite language, near-native, cross-platform support. There is a lot to like. And there aren't many alternatives out there, if you consider cross-platform compilation a must. React Native and alikes suffer even greater performance related issues.
The only thing currently blocking Flutter, is the ecosystem. But for some presentation centric apps that need functional yet consistent UI, Flutter is pretty competitive solution.
What is somewhat a little concerning is, unlike React has JSX to relatively easily to compose components, at least in a fashion that is easy to tell the hierarchy, Flutter seems to opt for deeply nested parentheses, which results in lengthy code and isn't very friendly to the eyes.
