Flutter is an awesome developer experience and would probably also make sense for small team that needs to support many platforms. I think I would target flutter if I had to support desktop OS.

React-native would probably be preferable if you are just doing iOS/Android/Web due to the maturity of the ecosystem and wide use in the industry.

Flutter's widget tree is an abomination.

Can you elaborate? I've found it a delight.

A heavily nested widget can be a little sore on the eyes. You can break up heavily nested widgets into multiple widgets though.

This is also common to JSX though so not sure what the "abominable" comment is referring to.

Yeah it's usually a sign that you're doing too much in a single widget if you end up with a crazy amount of nesting.

Exactly, it's so simple and transparent when done correctly.
