Don't forget... Microsoft <3 Linux. You can tell it's a top consideration.
I think the killer feature here is natively targeting Windows AND macOS simultaneously. The only cross-platform alternatives that I've seen in the ecosystem use either web or Gtk in the frontend, and both of these have a distinctly non-native feel to them.

React Native scares me with its dependency webs: http://npm.anvaka.com/#/view/2d/react-native From my experience, it's really great to work with and definitely saves a ton of work, but the depgraph above fills me with doubt for use in sensitive applications such as in finance or healthcare. For this reason, I've been trying out Flutter or even considering to go back to native apps. Perhaps there's some kind of middle…
It was the worst experience of my development life, building a phone app with it........................ never, never, never again. If you want to know what it's like to have everything break LITERALLY every few days, use react native.

In which ecosystem? If you mean desktop apps in general, then there are many other options. Qt and wxWidgets, to name a couple of popular ones that have been around for a very long time.

The web has become truly awful and it’s invading desktop apps. We need to refactor our technology stack.

Any large financial services company you're working with is already deploying sensitive apps on Node, for what it's worth.
That's not very comforting. Banks deploy nonsensical stuff all the time (like bad password policies).
I tried using this a few months ago, as well as React Native for mobile and React Native Web for web, and I felt like they were all just hacks glued together to get cross-platform support, and RN isn't even native, it still includes a Javascript bridge. Build dependencies and packages were a nightmare, things continuously broke. I tried Flutter afterwards and it just felt like a breath of fresh air. Everything "just…
I had the same experience. Expo is wonderful for prototyping and quick iteration. The ability to use Snacks online and see them working on the phone is great. But beyond that everything in RN feels hacky and unfinished. While working with it I had some silly issues with Metro, and found some subtle bugs in Text and Button components. About the "Native" part. I think that a lot of people have the expectation that doin…
If this happens over a weekend, expect your phone to blow up every three hours until it gets republished and fixed.
