Flutter, as you may have noticed is one of the fastest-growing Frameworks out there for Hybrid Application Development in 2020. Even for Web Development (still in Beta), Flutter Team is doing an amazing job making it production-ready.

One of the most appealing thing about Flutter, which attracts most beginners and developers in general, is that it allows to create complex animations with ease. Especially in case of Android, where you would have to scratch your head hard, constantly switching between XML Layouts and Native Java Code, to create complex fluid animations, Flutter lets you do the same thing with just a few lines of code 💙.
