Thanks for your reply @lrichardson. I got the impression that ReactNative was having a hard-time within AirBnB lately due to a lukewarm response from Native Developers. (You mentioned this in an interview). Sorry for my mis-interpretation.

Where does AirBnB actually use ReactNative, and where is it purely native? I was in the understanding the move to ReactNative was not going "the way you preferred".

I can imagine there are some roadblocks using it everywhere. Or some hesitation from Native Developers.

For me also: Using JavaScript as a language run inside a interpreter inside my app doesn't seem like a smart move. Also native like navigation, activity lifecycle, animation etc are probably hard to get right with React Native.
