Hardly. Performance lags. Even after the new rendering engine. Try compiling and then running desk top samples (a mail client, a finance management tool) on macOs and check the amount of jank in animations.

Text fields are whole another story. They feel alien in UX on every platform.

I can live with that but performance is a deal breaker.

Yep, Flutter performance absolutely _sucks_ on older hardware, which they obviously aren't testing on.
On newer hardware too.
Well that's a shame, I don't have a new phone at the moment but was assuming it was at least somewhat fast on newer hardware.
Wow I have not had that experience on macOS.

MacOS support is so good that I've developed a MacOS app just for convenience so I don't need to open the iOS simulator.
