My perspective on this has evolved quite recently. I’ve been doing Angular and React apps on the web professionally for six or seven years now, and a few native iOS apps on the side for fun. Last summer I got a gig doing a React Native app. “No problem; I know React, I know native. Let’s go.” I kind of hated it. Everything I was doing in React, though familiar and second nature, seemed so DUMB because I knew that Cocoa Touch had better, faster, simpler solutions. I came out of the experience with the feeling that web apps are profoundly misguided; that we ought to be going back to static sites for the web, and _real_ native for functionality. I guess my answer is “yes, absolutely, and maybe you should consider ditching web apps altogether.”
