React Native is one of those things I instinctively avoided, not because it's bad but because it's a big ball of crap. Anything with that many dependencies and long install processes and such is going to be extremely brittle and hard to maintain.

I would say that a big ball of crap qualifies as bad.
That was poorly worded. What I meant was that React Native results seem good but the system itself looks fragile and messy and rickety. It seems to inherit a lot of the complexity and irregularity diseases that plague the entire JavaScript and web ecosystem.
:D
