Agreed, I’ve never used react native myself but I do use CapacitorJS to run JS (TS) apps and with a dev server I can hit save in my IDE and see it on my phone screen in <1 second on average. It’s so nice for iteration.
Throughout my career, I found that the faster I can go from wanting to try something to seeing it working, the better. Without that quick iteration cycle, I end up, not trying certain things or trying to batch all of my changes which then makes it harder to be sure what actually fixed it.
