With react native and electron web stack is running in circles.
How many times should this be repeated: web stack is easier to write only if you don't know shit of the native SDKs. Otherwise it does not even compare.
Well yeah... that's the point of React Native isn't it? For people who don't know Swift or Objective-C and want an iPhone app. React Native apps are faster to write for them and perform well.
I can't comment on how they compare with native iOS apps.

It's a hell of a lot easier than native SDKs when you need to support multiple different client platforms. This is coming from someone who would rather not have to deal with GUIs at all.
Things like react-native and electron aren't becoming popular because people think they are better than writing native, they are becoming popular because of the dream of "write once, run everywhere".
Most people are already developing a webstack and if they have the ability to re-use code on their mobile/desktop apps then that is a win for everyone. If you are writing 100% mobile app then you probably aren't reaching for react-native.
