It's a real shame. Great framework but based on a single purpose language by a company known to drop projects on a whim. I loved to play with it, but I can't imagine sinking a lot of dev hours into it, knowing it could just disappear.

I've also enjoyed working with it. Switching to React Native for a different project later felt like a huge step back.
My only experience with it was with harmony-music built/installed from AUR on artix, and I couldn't keep using it, it was consuming too munch CPU, making the fans run nuts. Not sure if it was harmony-music itself, or flutter. Apparently not the same OP experience.
I would love to talk about Qt Framework and QML, here, but QML doesn't seem particularly great either.
Although I have only used QML, so I might only be knowing the pains of it and not the others.
I wanted to get into Flutter but it seems like there are some bugs that are either unfixable or that they have actively decided not to fix. I didn't want to end up wasting my time building on such a foundation, but it's definitely nice for certain projects that fit within the supported functionality.
What bugs do you mean? Anything serious i should know about?
The main one that jumped out to me was a scroll issue on iOS when using multiple fingers. I just looked it up to share a link and it may be fixed? It's the mentality of "Eh, we might fix it one day" that is the bulk of why I didn't stick with Flutter. A bug this annoying lingering for as long as it did said volumes to me.

the only reason i don't use flutter is because my brain is polluted with react
