In my opinion Flutter is almost perfect for complex mobile- and web-apps. I really don't know how it could be better! And I have used a LOT of Languages, Frameworks and IDEs during my 40 year career as a Software Developer! The only thing that it is not good at is 3D stuff like AR/VR and games.

[@Apenschi]

@@RR-et6zp I see no advantage of adding an extra layer that adds it's own errors, needs to be updated and costs money. And why? Flutter is efficient enough. In my experience, all those solutions may be quicker in the short run, but long term they cause problems that eliminate all prior time savings. I guess Flutter Fllow is more for people with no or little dev knowledge. It is definetely not for me!

[@elieobeid77]

this might or might not be true but from my experience hiring flutter devs and react native devs. react-native devs are far more experienced. flutter devs usually have a very shallow understanding of Flutter and a bad computer background, they watch some KZbin videos and start applying for jobs. I was a CTO for an application built in Flutter and hiring was very painful.

[@Martin-nw4sb]

That's because most programmers start as web developers with the MERN stack. From there, it's an extra step to begin using React Native Expo. Then, you need to create a specific project that requires more control and eject from Expo to start using React Native CLI. Eventually, you realize you're spending most of your time working with the same tools like Formik, Yup, Axios, Redux, etc. So here I am, a five-year-old semi-senior React Native developer with no computer science degree, learning how to use widgets, controllers, builders, the state, etc., just because the PM said Flutter is faster.😅

[@rustamusmanov9043]

Hi! thanks for your video description first. And I want to notice you that Flutter is using IMPELLER instead of SKIA!

I have rn and flutter experience with live projects. I need to say within honestly flutter is less painfull then rn. I remember my pains with rn, flutter comes with some builtin solutions and only that reaon enough to chose flutter but its not all of it. flutter is realy better than react native. if u familier web tech and if u have react knowledge okey no problem dont lose ur time with jumping tech to tech but if u new in mobile world u can give a chance to flutter. it will be good start.

In fact, there is no right or wrong here. Flutter is actually hard for someone who has never had anything to do with Java or C before, like me. But I would never think of switching to React, because I now feel at home with Flutter, which cannot be replaced by plus or minus points.

[@site.x9448]

After finishing with node & databases it's better not to spread focus on mobile apps for you (if you plan to find first job). It's better to focus solely on web, make some pet project, find first job, work at least a year in this area and then get back to the question "if I still want to try mobile apps". It's better to be an expert in one area than average specialist in multiple (and mobile apps world completely differs from web). This is a suggestion for you from a full-stack software engineer with 8+ years of experience.
