I’ve built a a couple apps in React Native over the past few years. My reasoning for wanting to use React Native is primarily because I think the iOS ecosystem is a real mess right now. SwiftUI is not mature, and UIKit is antiquated compared to the needs of today. If you’re just starting out, the force multiplier you get from RN is almost too difficult to ignore. 1) Even in the last couple years, React Native has gotten much better. The performance gap is not noticeable anymore. In fact, in some cases I think it has been easier get better performance in RN than using native. 2) It does feel like there was a wave where tons of libraries were created and then abandoned. But overall there are lots of libraries which are good and well maintained. 3) Native is still better if you need really tight experiences, but this gap is also closing. Since you can easily drop down to native, this issue shouldn’t be a big deal.
