Yes. The common denominator isn't as low as one might expect. I'd guess at least 90% of all apps could be easily done with React-Native.

Sure. But what if the entire world doesn’t want to learn JavaScript? What if you don’t already know HTML, CSS, and JS? RN makes ZERO sense at that point.

As a C developer, man, Flutter looks pretty damn logical!

If it makes more sense, then go for it.

With all of these platform abstractions you just need to understand the trade-offs they're making.

I don't know if you read your own link or not, but he's first off complaining about a community plugin and not an official one.

There is some truth that overlapping isn't well supported in Flutter CURRENTLY, but I can think of things that were well supported in RN 4 years ago either.

I can't think of a single reason I would want an overlay EXCEPT an alert, and even then, I don't think he's right.
