It's not a web development tool. It can be used to replace things you would have historically done with Flash but it isn't meant for building websites.

Technically it isn't really an equivalent of most web tools. If you would inspect a flutter or Codename One app in the browser you would see "weird stuff". That's OK for some use cases but it isn't really "web".
It runs in the browser, that's true. But it's an app that runs in the browser. Not a web app. It isn't HTML/DOM etc. That could be a plus for some use cases. I know a lot of developers use our web port to build apps. Hell, one customer even targets IE 6 which would be a nightmare with React/Vue et al but with Codename One it mostly works because we don't need the DOM.
There are a lot of downsides though. Plugins and tools that rely on DOM/HTML start failing. Password managers etc. are hard to work with. We have workarounds for those but it's a hassle.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Also, what are your thoughts on Flutter for Web Development?

Flutter has tried to expand its domain into the web thus attempting to replace Vue and NextJS. But there are many differing opinions on it.
