There is nothing revolutionary about a cross platform library that chooses to render its own widgets instead of using the system provided ones. It has been done multiple times in the past decades and has universally failed. No matter how much you spin it, that’s what it is.

But we do live in a bold new age of nonsense companies attempting to make MVPs and increase velocity—quality and user experience be damned—and people seem to be lapping that nonsense up. Just looking at the amount of garbage on Electron and the app stores these days is enough to miss the good old days.

I have recently tried Flutter and found it light and smooth. The article explains the reason well.

I think Flutter is promising.
