What's Awesome about Flutter
summary
Flutter compiles Dart down to ARM/native code, renders with Skia and ships its own widget tree instead of OEM widgets, so UI updates use structural repainting and compositing and most scrolling is just fast bit-blits. Tooling includes hot reload in ~387ms (keeps state). Platform channels expose native APIs; some gaps remain—video and maps workarounds are recent and it's still alpha. A real app built with it, Hamilton, ships in three months and reaches 1M+ downloads with ~100k+ daily active users.
