> Call me tinfoil but I believe SO is really financially supported directly or indirectly to support Flutter over React Native

Could you elaborate on this one?

People at SO are definitely smart and that blog post seems a bit skewed. Almost all the good sides they praise Flutter can be equally or better applied to RN too.

I try to "reverse engineer" it and think "what would have caused these very smart people to write such a lame blog post that doesn't reflect reality" and that leads me to this conclusion.

Again, I just said I believe in this. Maybe I am wrong.

In my experience, the majority of engineers evangelize the tech stack they use, even when this makes no sense. Hence => Flame Wars ;)

Many do, including me.

But I really try to be realistic and frankly can't see Flutter being truly more popular.

But just because I favor React Native over Flutter doesn't necessarily mean that I'm biased and there's no truth in what I'm saying.

It's a shill piece.
