On a serious note, though, I really wanted to get this right. I asked a lot of Flutter developers for their feedback and wrote and rewrote parts of the article many times.
They gave me great feedback. The Flutter community is great and their developers are high level.

Like all great competitive products, React Native and Flutter push each other and make each other so much better than if they each had a monopoly.
Looking forward to seeing what you all think of this article. Thanks to everyone who helped give feedback and suggestions!

Thanks!
useColorScheme is primarily about light/dark, where Flutter's theming is more detailed than that:
