People at SO are definitely smart and that blog post seems a bit skewed. Almost all the good sides they praise Flutter can be equally or better applied to RN too.

I try to "reverse engineer" it and think "what would have caused these very smart people to write such a lame blog post that doesn't reflect reality" and that leads me to this conclusion.

Again, I just said I believe in this. Maybe I am wrong.

In my experience, the majority of engineers evangelize the tech stack they use, even when this makes no sense. Hence => Flame Wars ;)

Many do, including me.

But I really try to be realistic and frankly can't see Flutter being truly more popular.

But just because I favor React Native over Flutter doesn't necessarily mean that I'm biased and there's no truth in what I'm saying.

It's a shill piece.
