Don't confuse anger with distaste. I have a profound distaste for mediocre software. I have distaste for software that looks terrible so the lazy developers can "doing that easily". I, as a user of software, don't care about your ease. I want to have good software, not a minimum value product. From your comment here, you obviously care little for platform-standards; you describe "a standard set of behaviors that work across both platforms and work far better than running a web app in a webview", as if that's some measure of quality. My measure of quality is higher, and I have the stage here and elsewhere to try and spread my message. If you don't like my message, you are welcome to downvote and/or click the [-] button on my posts.

re wrong or have less insight than you, which cannot be true unless you've got some real insight or something, which is certainly not true." I work at Wix. I have a lot of insight into what I am talking about. We have one of the largest React Native applications out there. I have also contributed to the react-native project itself, and have intimate knowledge of how most of it operates. I have, and am, building tools to improve work with RN. I have an extensive iOS knowledge, and I have access to Android developers with extensive Android knowledge. We happen to share our opinion on RN. "There is nothing that could not be done with a combination of platform specific knowledge and React Native, and the technology is still evolving." Try running JS business logic concurrently. (Multiple JS VMs does not count.) "What do you have to share besides criticism of other people's work?" What a ridiculous statement. So I can't criticize terrible technology unless I, alone, have created a competing tech to Facebook, who employs hundreds of engineers? Nonetheless, here are some open source projects which I have contributed or created: https://github.com/wix/AppleSimulatorUtils https://github.com/wix/detox https://github.com/wix/DTXSourceMaps https://github.com/wix/DetoxInstruments (WIP - no read me or documentation yet) https://github.com/LeoNatan/LNNotificationsUI https://github.com/LeoNatan/LNPopupController https://github.com/LeoNatan/LNInterpolation Before that I worked at Check Point Software Technologies, a security company, where contributing open source was frowned upon.
