alt Hacker NewsI agree. RN has historically attracted a lot of web developers who treat mobile like a React website, and the result can be terrible. But I've seen exactly the same architectural problem in Flutter: huge widgets, mixed responsibilities, state everywhere, and very little separation of concerns. The framework doesn't protect you from bad engineering.
Ah, that's a shame to hear. I would only like to add that at least for Android apps that I've been "hanging around" (my team never really worked on them), the teaching materials that are provided have generally made them a lot more pleasant compared to the RN stuff.
