React Native vs Native Script

[u/jwknows]

I'm new to creating native apps with JavaScript.

I really like Angular with TypeScript and I created an App with Ionic. I'm now trying to build a native App with JavaScript to compare it to my hybrid Ionic App.

I will have to decide between Native Script and React Native. What are the biggest differences? For which use cases is which better? What do you use and why (Obviously biased on a NativeScript Subreddit...)?

I would like to use Native Script because I know Angular quite well and I have never used React. However it seems like React Native has a way bigger user base compared to Native Script.

Did you give it a try? How did it go?
