I'd say so, though after trying Expo (pretty much what most people use, FWIU) the experience can be... trying at times. I had a lot of dependency errors, weird errors which involved digging through issues to find (I believe Expo didn't support .tsx by default... what?)

This isn't coming from the usual "JavaScript is bad" crowd, but from someone who is generally quite favourable to JavaScript in general (while also recognizing its downsides). Overall, the experience is far from perfect, but I imagine you could make wonderful apps when you get the stack to work.

(In general, if there's one thing I can't stand, it's debugging toolchains and build systems. Extremely boring, frustrating and tedious.)
