The biggest problem with Flutter is Dart. Not the language specifically (it’s a nice enough flavor of C-family language), but the ecosystem. Even Swift is better in this regard. Flutter ported to TypeScript and sufficiently distanced from Google would actually be very compelling.

Yep, I just commented the same thing before I read this. I'd say it's both Dart and Material Design. Dart doesn't seem bad (I've only glanced), it's just not very compelling or interesting.
