Flutter provides an amazing developer experience. Dart is a great and modern programming language and built specifically for the needs of this framework. Everything just works out of the box. It's backed by google, it's completely open source, it doesn't need any native dependencies. It's a better version of Qt,RN, NS |

Back when I tried it, it also had a much more incomplete ecosystem, though the google marketing machine was in full swing. I remember not being able to even use the sqlite library without actually spinning up an emulator (as in, I couldn't use it with just plain dart). Dealing with generics was actually difficult/painful (as in just something simple like printing JSON). BLoC seemed like a hack and was more complex than I was comfortable with for using at large scale. Maybe it's better these days.
I will take Typescript over Dart all day every day. I would even take JS with all it's warts over Dart.
That said, Flutter I think is amazing because it is probably going to be hands-down the easiest way to write apps that hit a large number of screens. I think Google will get there first-ish (they have a lot of money and a lot of platforms to support).
