Blink has so much investment, and is moving so fast, that I don't think React Native's renderer can keep up meaningfully.

As far as I know it doesn't support s huge number of useful CSS, like Grids, variables, transitions, multiple border styles, text-transform...

I googled for Blink and couldn't find what I think you might be referring to. Would you mind dropping a link to Blink?

It's Google's fork of WebKit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink_(web_engine)

Oh yes, definitely. Momentum matters. I said in another thread here a long time ago, down-voted to hell, that these electron apps would "win" purely because of the momentum. We tend to look at a technology and assess it as a snapshot now. We (people in general) don't usually treat a technology as a function of (now * momentum). I think it's pretty well proven that with technology motion is everything. There are plenty of great things that started out bad, bad things that started out great, and good things that never became great. Motion is the difference.
