For some reason I have mixed feelings about this. I appreciate the React paradigm for UI development. It simplifies and facilitates a lot of complex interactions. However, being based on RN, it means a JS Interpreter is running in the background. Compared to native compiled binaries JS uses much more RAM. I would like the core OS applications to be written in the most efficient manner as possible. But I guess very few programmers want to manually manage memory these days.
