I was watching some mobile coding stuff and I've discovered Flutter.
I've seen a lot of people hyped for this framework, so I've downloaded a couple apps made with it.
Amazing UI and animations, but everything feels laggy.
Then I've tried it, and I don't see why all this hype. I fell better build mobile app on the "classic" way (Kotlin/xml). Is it me, or Flutter is overrated?

    It can run at over 60fps. It lags during debug because of the insane amount of testing tools packaged with it. Learn how to use state management through providers/dependency injection. If it lags, it's due to rough code or a low rated package.

    You can write java/kotlin code and use it with your flutter/dart code. Same for swift, obj-c, and C++/C with ffi

    It's worth the investment to dig deeper into the Dart language and what Flutter does that makes it great. Samples and whatnot simply cover about 15% of it's capabilities.

    @klutch I tested some releases apps on Google Play, not debug versions, still somehow luggy
    I'm going to continue studying it anyway, it's not that bad as I thought initially
