Great article there! I kinda want to have your passion to flutter as well. I started learning from stateless to stateful widgets in flutter, but somehow in some aspects like state management.Is it true that we want to lessen the "stateful" class even though some of the widgets don't really change its state? I really want to hear words from the hardworkers. I also watched the reactive programming for flutter in google i/o 2018. It's just that I need to further read and understand the documentation. This will also be my milestone about the state management(Redux,Streams,InheritedWidget,ScopedModel/ScopedModelDescendant). setState was a common for beginners. but I rarely use it when nothing complex is in my code.

I am not familiar with any other Javascript Mobile Frameworks like React Native. But Flutter was my first and will be last in mobile development. I went to react native but gave me hard time to deal with..

Hey there Vince! My apologies for the late reply.

Note that if one uses something like ScopedModel, one naturally uses more Stateless widgets because there's simply no need. Overall though, StatefulWidget is very much frequently used in general, just not as heavily.

RN has a high learning curve so I'd personally only get into RN if you're interested in easily finding a job or contract work. IMO investing in Flutter is a good bet long term.
