The reviews

Hot reload, custom rendering engine, and Dart is surprisingly pleasant. Best for custom UI that needs pixel-perfect cross-platform.

Helpful?

Dart limits the developer pool. React Native with TypeScript/JavaScript has a much larger talent market.

Helpful?

Google's commitment level is uncertain given their track record. React Native has more ecosystem momentum.
