You're hitting on something we hear a lot, and that's a use case we are really going after. Even if you use RN today with a webview, there's no core way to expose plugins/modules to that web view (like Cordova does). I think there's a middle ground here where the web layer is first class but it's easier to drop into native code and manage your native project as you wish, while staying as close as possible to the standard tools/APIs that each platform developers typically use. If we can save you 95% of the time on your app, and have simple escape hatches to get full control, that's a win.
