State of React Native 2018
The biggest problem I&#x27;ve run into with React Native has been their handling of issues. Far too frequently I&#x27;ll google an issue I&#x27;m having and click a link to a bug report that matches the exact problem I&#x27;m having and provides a repro only to see that the issue was closed for inactivity. Never mind the issue is still valid, and the comments on the issue will ask for it to be re-opened and the response is to open a new issue.<p>So then you start this goose chase of hunting down the current issue since it starts getting into this loop of closed, open a new issue, closed, open a new issue, closed, open a new issue, etc. And everytime this happens   relevant information gets lots because its not transferred to the new issue.<p>And then you finally find the newest, currently active iteration of the issue and find out that its still not fixed and the workaround is to stop using the React Native version and re-implement the feature yourself natively on both ios and android.
