other than hiring, everything you said are reasons I'm staying away from react native. Dart has improved a lot and is much better

easy to understand and use for everyone. you no longer need to spend tons of time teaching junior devs how to use git. By default mercurial also doesn't let you change history. There's no staging area or indexing before the commit. The gui and commands make total sense to the layman.

Git is definitely more powerful but causes more damage than good and wastes more time in most workplaces who are just looking for some simple version control and branching/merging features.

I always go back to using mercurial for personal projects. Better than both

Picking a book getting approached by the teacher then writing a book report has been how I was taught to read since 1st grade. After moving to the US for high school, being forced to read through the American classics was what killed any urges I had for reading fiction outside of school work

This mindset is why literacy rate is so low in America. I enjoyed reading so much when I grew up abroad and got to pick the books i have to read and write a book report about. Though it has to be approved. After moving back to the US, being forced to read many of these boring classics just taught me to avoid reading in my free time
