I selected Flutter because of Flutter's awesome, pre-build UI components. It makes my life as an indie dev easy and fun. At the time, I had never built an application with React Native, so this was a fantastic introduction to cross-platform development. That said, as someone who typically builds his web apps using Next.js (a cousin of React), I'd probably go back to React Native before Flutter.
