I used Xamarin then moved onto Flutter and I'm also loving it.
I agree that building using widgets isn't the nicest thing in the world, but I'd take it any day over data binding hell using XAML on Xamarin. -
@bananaerror I never used Xamarin. I started created hybrids way back in Cordova days and then moved in to a different area. I came back and from what I saw it was a toss-up between Xamarin and Flutter. One of the other developers is fully in to .net so was really pushing Xamarin but I figured Flutter was growing fast enough for it to be something worthwhile.

@ojt-rant As I C# developer myself, I'd say Flutter > Xamarin.
what's the H word btw? Hybrid? I didn't know that wasn't a welcome word. -
@bananaerror you say Hybrid to some people and you get slapped down as not being a "real coder". Personally I prefer it.

Tried react native and couldn’t even get it to launch. I might have missed a config step admittedly, but the experience just felt janky altogether. Tried flutter, loved it, and even deployed an app for work with it.

@wackOverflow I never got in to React at all, even for web. I did a bit of Angular then I started to lean towards Vue, but once my job started to move over to apps I just refused to circle back to React. So I'm sticking with Flutter.
-
@ojt-rant well although I think react-native is poop, react for web is great IMO. Haven’t tried vue, didn’t vibe with angular. I did spin up a flutter web project once, and it didn’t look bad, but I’d like to see the ecosystem around that grow before I start any serious projects with it.

Dunno about others, but Flutter is pretty nice, I've been playing with it for a week or so. That's not much of an opinion though.

No judgment regardling the "H" word here. But right now, which would you rate the best Hybrid app SDK?
Flutter, React Native, Xamarin? Other? and why?
I started using Flutter in 2020 and I'm loving the results. The learning curve is really high but the performance is nice. But coding via widgets...just feels a bit messy.
