Flutter, from experience, works really well on Android. Unfortunately the same cannot be said about the web (see for example [1]).
I think that if these performance issues were to be solved, Flutter would see a bigger adoption. In any case IMHO Flutter >>>>> Electron

- jwells89 3y agoLast I knew it had significant performance issues on iOS (framerate drops/stutters), which dampens its cross platform appeal somewhat and is part of why I’ve heard of apps using Flutter for the Android port of their app, but nowhere else.
- stolsvik 3y agoHow old is that info? We’re using it, and it is buttery smooth on both phone platforms.
- fngjdflmdflg 3y agoNot that old. Only when Impeller was enabled by default last year did Flutter become usable on ios.
- lxgr 3y agoFlutter on the web is absurd: At least when I last checked, it's been rendering UI widgets into an HTML canvas by default, using its own low-level drawing library. That sounds about as good of an idea as the old Java desktop GUI framework that used to (poorly) imitate native UI elements of Windows and macOS: Everything always looked three major versions behind and felt extremely janky.
- denysvitali 3y agoI wouldn't care less if it worked in a performant way - in the end Flutter apps are using their own design (Material 2 / 3) - so rendering them in a Canvas is OK-ish. The problem is that, on the web, the performance is extremely poor, so Flutter is still not worth being used there (IMHO).
