I had the same journey. My unhappiness hit when I realized the key native functionality I needed was nowhere to be found. I’ve been through this pain and it made me reconsider Flutter at this time.

Glad to see someone got hooked to Flutter. Try it in profile/release mode(emulators doesnt support release/profile mode), you be stunned in its performance and productivity. Interpreted languages are good for beginners because they get overwhelmed with data types. Dart is statically and optionally typed language(dynamic type supports but I wouldnt recommend using it). Good for beginners if they want to use var only, it may infer its type in runtime. new and const are optional to optimize productivity, people still get confused new and const to a widget.

I've been using flutter for 6 months and now my productivity gets higher as I implement changes with their guidelines. But flutter is moving so fast, it is expected to release their v1.0 on November-December. Now I can easily switch language and easier to understand(Next is Go).
