Sure you can find some issues if you look at it hard enough. In the real world scenario, it's very possible to ship a performant, functional app in Flutter and has been for some time now. It also brings some of the best development experiences with Dart, consistent declarative paradigm & hot reload. Like all things, it's a trade off, for me it's very hard to merit maintaining 2x native apps.

There are many, many people out there shipping Flutter apps, and many, many users using those apps. So please stop the hate maybe?

I'm not hating, I'm actually working on a Flutter project currently. I don't understand why we need to pretend like the platform is perfect

This seems like a pretty defensive comment in response to pointing out some objective flaws in Flutter. It’s fine to admit it’s a trade off, but a trade off necessarily means there are some downsides.

Flutter apps on iOS just do not feel native, that’s a fact. It doesn’t mean you’re a bad person for using Flutter.

It's not a fact, it's the opinion of a rather small group of elitist iOS super users. Native is an utterly overrated concept these days and in no way the solution to build an app with good UX. Users don't care whether you use SwiftUI, Components or Widgets. Users don't even know what a native app is. Stop acting like it's the only true holy way.

"native" is a term that has meaning, and Flutter is not native.
