Gigex426yCame from Xamarin (xaml and c#) and could not get into flutter because of the UI design via code.. like HTML, XAML is just much not readable for me.
But maybe I will try it again because it seems much more stable than Xamarin. -
@AlexDeLarge thanks for the input man! I have been looking at dart and flutter all day. It really is amazing. I am not in bad terms with Java, but when it comes to Android development I really see why some people dislike the language. Making Android apps in Java and Kotlin sucks. React Native is better but I wanted to look more into Dart. Its been fun thus far.

@sharktits i despise designing layouts with markup languages. But mostly because I cbf with properly learning them beyond what I need.

@Gigex when i looked at xamarin it seemed like the same thing as Android, but with c#. The language was not my problem(i really like c#) but the way of doing things in Android bothers me a great deal.

I gave a very small overview of the flutter sdk a whiiiile ago and I have been thinking about going back to it. Currently considering between 2 courses on udemy that are at a discount price. I love the idea of dart as a language and prefer declarative ui building over xml shittyness. I was an Android/ios development for 2 years and hated every minute of it, but really love the idea of building mobile apps.
What are your thoughts and considerations on this? Should I jump right in or just leave it asside? What are your success stories with flutter and what did you use to learn the framework besides the docs? How easy are things like state management and persistent storage with flutter compared to android and ios?
I will eventually make my own decission by building sample projects, but hearing from the community would be great.
