I agree about the different ways to interpret what popular/unpopular means. But, "app development" is not really a niche. And having almost 50% market share of cross platform frameworks in that market, and growing, is also no small piece either.

- okamiueru 4y agoA quick search does give some results to back me up: - https://www.statista.com/statistics/869224/worldwide-software-developer-working-hours/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/869224/worldwide-softwar... Combined with: https://insights.stackoverflow.com/trends?tags=flutter%2Creact-native https://insights.stackoverflow.com/trends?tags=flutter%2Crea... Given that the first one was limited at 2021, I would be surprised it isn't around 60%. And, having used react-native and done extensive eval on it, flutter is by far the better architectural approach, so I expect this trend to continue (unless google cans the project that is :P). IMHO, the only reason to ever pick react-native over flutter is if you already have JS developers.
