The Discord devs use RN and their app is anything but experimental or small. And there are by far not the only one (Skype, Instagram, Wix, UberEats, Tesla, Baidu, Salesforce).
Native devs don’t like RN because the mobile dev supply gets bigger which hurts their market value. That’s the real reason of your post, spreading FUD.
RN has its limitations but for 80% of apps it’s absolutely fine.
- la_fayette 7y agoI am quite sure uber eats is not using RN anymore (evidence here: https://www.appbrain.com/app/uber-eats:-local-food-delivery/com.ubercab.eats https://www.appbrain.com/app/uber-eats:-local-food-delivery/...). There are many examples of companies abandoning RN, e.g. udacity, airbnb...
- teamski 7y agoBut the vast majority stays with RN.

Please stop with the market value/FUD attacks, they are nonsense and childish. You clearly have an axe to grind. I don't like RN because I have had to sunset multiple large projects in RN. Javascript is a mess for mobile development. The interaction between the native layer is a mess. Hell, it's still not even a 1.0 release yet - smart CTOs would be insane to suggest it as a tool. Just look at the upgrade guides they post - a mess.
