I transitioned a side project from native to React Native and it was not a great story (2 years ago at least). Since my app used some native views, and there wasn't enough documentation or community behind that, every new RN version would take nights of my life in patching and getting the app to recompile.

Ultimately, I moved to Flutter and have loved the experience since (https://devbots.ai/jax.html). The main reason I was trying to use native views is because I wanted to draw some custom components (custom drawing commands + animations) but there wasn't a good story around that in RN, but Flutter gives you a canvas for such efforts, with no penalty caused by the native/JS bridge.

For mobile side projects at least I have settled on Flutter. Web is still a disappointing story in Flutter though, so its back to React for now.
