Coming from a background of WebViews hybrid development (Cordova/Ionic), React Native simply blew my mind. How I see it is you get the UI advantages of doing native development, with the advantages of using React for the front-end just like I would for the web and going the native way whenever you need to.

I don't think all projects should be done with it as native development still has its place for certain kind of apps, but for a typical thin-client app wrapping a web service, it's really great.

Even for thicker client apps react native is a decent option as you can always drop down to native code if you need to.
