What's most appealing about Flutter?

I second flutter. I think it feels fun and promising as an ecosystem. Also as a game developer I found it closest to the workflow of Unity 3D on application domain, which is a great convenience and fun to work with. Also both are well documented (Yes I’m looking at you php).

I hope to do some hobby projects in the future, perhaps when kids start school in 6-7 years lol:D

Even my startup switched from Capacitor to Flutter.

For me, the experience of developing is what sold it to me. Having used Ionic and React Native, I can say it's the seamless development experience so far.

Some other good points:

  • Great docs
  • Loads of out-the-box widgets (components)
  • Quite a big community
  • And UI warnings, for example, if your text overflows the screen, it will show a warning in the app showing where the issue is and explaining the problem.

Hot reload, extensive widget support, close to native experience with support for cross-platform.
Having some experience with Android using Java, those are some features that seem quite appealing to me.
