Yep. This describes me. I'm an iOS developer who has been contracting for the last 6 months doing nothing but React Native.

I do hope to return to Swift once the language stabilizes a bit more. It was annoying not being able to easily use any third party swift libraries when Xcode 8/iOS 10 came out (Apple made some Swift language changes and all third party libraries had to update).

All that being said, I'm pretty happy with React Native, its waaay better than any other cross platform solutions I have tried.

It was interesting going to the React Native developer meet up in SF. Very few native developers were present, pretty much everyone in attendance was a web dev.

I think being a native developer who is good at react native gives you a competitive advantage.

Not surprised at the ratio. Wix, Web.Com and other "we'll build you a website for free" sites combined with offshore web devs have commoditized (in management's heads) a lot of web dev work, and they're looking to get in on mobile dev since it hasn't been commoditized yet.
