Reviewer scorecard
“EAS Build, OTA updates, and the managed workflow eliminate the worst parts of mobile development. Indispensable.”
“Completion quality lags behind Copilot and Codeium. The privacy angle is the only differentiator.”
“Expo has matured from toy to production platform. The config plugins and custom dev clients removed the old limitations.”
“In a market with free alternatives (Codeium) and better ones (Copilot), Tabnine's position is uncomfortable.”
“Expo is making React Native the default for mobile. Universal apps (web + mobile) from one codebase is the future.”
“The privacy-first approach is admirable but the model quality gap is widening. Hard to see how they compete long-term.”
