- chgibb 6y agoWe're pretty bought into Flutter. No cross platform toolkit is perfect but Flutter is miles ahead of everything else. For a not very scientific analysis: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=flutter,%2Fg%2F11h03gfxy9,xamarin https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=...
- nwienert 6y agoIt’s definitely not miles ahead of just about anything. It has significant tradeoffs and fits some projects better than others. React Native has quite a few benefits over Flutter. Especially if building for the web, I’d actually say Flutter is only usable now if you don’t build your web app with it. Which in my cost benefit analysis makes it miles behind RN, but of course, that’s why it depends.
- jonathanaird 6y agoThey’re putting a lot of resources behind and it actually is thriving. They have a real financial interest as there’s pretty thorough firebase support. It’s also reviving their Dart language. As someone that’s using it, it is improving very quickly. Web support is getting quite good.
