(Cofounder here) This is close to our thinking. Comes from seeing how at Dropbox we started with a cross-platform approach on desktop. While it meant that we could quickly achieve consistency, it also meant that we couldn’t use platform-specific tooling on any given platform, like debuggers, without a bunch of custom tooling to fight through the intermediate layers.

We want to try running small teams using the best stack for each platform.

As a user, I greatly prefer the "best stack for each platform" approach.

In fact, I'll usually take reduced overall functionality for a better platform-native experience.
