Seems like it. I do like flutters "widget composability" design better, and native support for animations...
And the components in flutter are of very high quality. Pixel perfect copies of ios and material design.
"It will use either the underlying platform 2D primitives to render same UI everywhere or use Skia to draw every pixel."
Sounds more like a React-Native competitor to me.
Well if it's drawing every pixel or using 2D primitives that sounds much more like Flutter than React Native since Flutter also uses Skia while React Native uses platform widgets.
Yes, I read "platform 2D primitives" as the basic UI elements of the platform, but you're right.
