If your goal is to actually put out high-quality apps, do not switch away from doing them natively. No cross-platform kit can compete. You are making sacrifices, sometimes big ones, in order to get the cross-platformness.

I've thought a lot about this. My biggest problem is that I'm the only one maintaining the project, and using something like vue + cross-platform would make things a lot easier than maintaining 3 different code bases (ios, android, web).

My understanding is that cross-platform tools have matured enough to be used as replacements to native implementations. Is that not the case?

From the (limited) work I've done building React Native app's.. In most cases, the user is not going to be able to tell any difference from a native app.

For simple apps, you can get away with it.

If you are aiming for more than the basics, you'll run into trouble or impassable roadblocks.
