React Native is getting there. It's still early software with a lot of problems but it has a lot of promise. My anecdotal experience as someone learning mobile development was that React Native was a lot easier to pick up and learn than native Android development. Despite a large number of issues the developer experience has been really slick and I've been able to iterate much faster.

Give it a couple of years and I think it'll be exactly what you're asking for.

it has a lot of promise

Glad to hear it ;-) I'm curious, what have been the main issues for you?

Probably the fact that it's still in active development, so there are breaking changes.
Also the terrible docs
I'm interested in improving these docs. Can you point to one area that you think is particularly terrible?
