For me QML/C++ (or other C++ UIs) and Xamarin make much more sense for native mobile coders.

- Better native integration

- Integration with the SDK tooling

- Support of all three major mobile platforms

- Performance

As soon as I saw what React Native offers, it was meh for me.

I wish Qt Widgets (C++, not QML) was more mobile friendly... Xamarin will be good when it finally becomes free (acquired by MS?), or at least gains more indie-friendly license.

API-wise, MoSync really stands out. Unfortunately, it is dead now. Same goes for Adobe Flex/AIR.

Xamarin prices are quite good when one takes into account developer salaries and saved time.

Personally, I would also like more Qt Widgets love, but only due to binary size.
