Reviewer scorecard
“Hot reload, custom rendering engine, and Dart is surprisingly pleasant. Best for custom UI that needs pixel-perfect cross-platform.”
“New Architecture with Fabric renderer eliminates the old bridge bottleneck. Performance is now genuinely native-grade.”
“Dart limits the developer pool. React Native with TypeScript/JavaScript has a much larger talent market.”
“The new architecture was worth the wait. React Native with Expo is the best cross-platform mobile development experience.”
“Google's commitment level is uncertain given their track record. React Native has more ecosystem momentum.”
“React Native's new architecture and Expo's tooling make it the clear winner for cross-platform mobile development.”
