Discussion on: "Flutter is better than React Native". Thoughts?

You make a really good point about how some technologies can get so overhyped that they start using it for things it was never meant to be used for. I kind of feel that way about Python too. Though it is a multipurpose language, I just feel like it is not the most optimal for web development and/or desktop applications. However, I see many web devs use frameworks like Django to make complex web applications. I guess it boils down to personal preferences like you said.

I actually have used OOP quite a bit. I started my career as a PHP developer and OOP was used in majority of the projects. However, as I slowly started to broaden my horizons with JS frameworks and even Python for web development, I began to see how tedious and ultimately unrewarding it was to implement OOP. Plus with the advent of JS frameworks, it's harder and harder to find devs to work in your team who are experienced with OOP. Most devs have a conceptual understanding of it.
