Different strokes, I think.

In our organization, it ended up being UI code that was the 90% number. The actual business logic code wasn't extremely extensive in the same way that we had to know Android and iOS, and then basically transpile mentally what we know into C#. Though almost all of the core SDK methods are named the same, so it wasn't too huge of a mental switch.

At this point with react-native, almost everything is shared. UI code, business logic, app state, etc. I think the node ecosystem opens our organization up to a lot more possibilities as well.

I've found that 3rd party react-native libraries are about the same quality as Xamarin Nuget packages. Some are good, most are meh.

Also, I upvoted you. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
