Too expensive for what it offers. Plenty of open-source alternatives.

New Architecture with Fabric renderer eliminates the old bridge bottleneck. Performance is now genuinely native-grade.

Solid execution. Does what it promises and the DX is clean.

The new architecture was worth the wait. React Native with Expo is the best cross-platform mobile development experience.

Interesting concept but the execution isn't there yet. Give it 6 months.
