Not sure what I think about React Native as a whole but I wholeheartedly approve of using flexbox for layout. It's much more declarative and easier to understand. Autolayout is a fundamentally flawed approach to layout. Building layouts in AL is very tricky and debugging them is twice as tricky as writing them. And lord help you if you have to programmatically add or remove views from a layout at runtime.

I disagree with the rest, but yeah... that's a sore point.
