For everyone that tried it in the past and has been reluctant due to the "old Expo" of the ejection days, you definitely need to give it another try. In the industry we're in, we all know technology changes rapidly, so to not adjust your mental model after 5 years have gone by is doing yourself a disservice for sure.
The RN template upgrades are painless. It enables you to develop on any operating system, which is a big forgotten perk. You can build in the cloud if you want, but you can also build locally (via EAS or the RN cli, this is important Expo apps are RN apps and vice-versa).
Need to drop into Native code? You can do that very easily now. It's not a show stopper. Need to whip up a quick demo app for a presentation? It works there too.
Oh yeah, do you find the app store dashboards painful? Send it over with EAS Submit all via CLI. You can even set this up in your CI if you want.
Preview PRs on release channels via EAS Updates, also amazing. Your QA will love testing features in isolation. Your management will love having the product testable on their devices and you won't get bogged down when they want to see the latest and greatest for some demo you don't need to be bothered with.
The team is made up of incredible, hardworking people who want the best for the native application scene. They want the best for your development team. And that's awesome!
