> the general principle of Flutter is a terrible idea.

I think Flutter is a good idea with bad execution. Maybe due to the lack of resources or effort put into it or maybe due to the management, I don't know.

The only thing that is cross-platform right now is the web and it is based on graphics engines (Skia in the case of Chrome). My idea of Flutter is that it is being web (i.e. cross-platform) without being a browser (i.e. overhead of being browser). However, in practice, I couldn't observe a good performance from Flutter when I tried it.

Right now, a lot of apps are developed using Electron (aka Chrome). Flutter is the equivalent of Electron for mobile without the extra layer of having a browser. With the advent of frameworks using WebView (WebGPU is also becoming popular) such as Tauri, we may need less Electron and Flutter.

> Flutter Web in particular is fundamentally flawed and needs to be rebuilt from the ground up if it has any hopes of being viable tech that generates semantic, accessible, and modern web experiences.

I don't know the exact technology of Flutter Web, but I think Flutter Web doesn't makes sense because it is running a renderer (Flutter) inside a renderer (browser).
