- LegionMammal978 2y agoThe idea behind frameworks like Flutter and React Native is that you can specify the document as a tree of high-level components, which can then be rendered either as a web page or as a mobile app. In that case, there's simply no equivalent to the semantic HTML tags on the other platforms, so you'd end up with a big impedance mismatch if you tried to force them in there. (Though of course, such tools are definitely targets of OP's derision.)
- manuelmoreale 2y agoI see. Interesting. But what’s the benefit of using a tool like that if you’re only targeting the web as a platform?
- LegionMammal978 2y agoNone, unless you (or your team) is already familiar with it, I'd imagine. I think some (like Flutter) are designed to have similar markup regardless of which or how many platforms a particular project uses. But don't take my word on any specific examples, I don't have any real experience outside of normal web React (which does give you full control over the HTML elements, except of course for third-party components).
- manuelmoreale 2y agoAgain, very interesting. Thank you for the insight. Appreciate it.
