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.

    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.
