Personally I see some of the cons as pros. 

Some examples:
* JavaScript means we can use clojurescript, and also means live updating of 
applications that have been approved in the App Store. 
* Component based file structure: I'm not sure what this means within the 
context of react native, but after using om and structuring my application into 
components and potentially using a controller layer (controlled via core.async) 
to make updates to app-state had been a huge win. Leaving aside the controller 
layer part, I have enjoyed the component model of development greatly. 

There will inevitably be some limitations with the react native approach, but I 
think for certain classes of applications it'll be great. For the rest, 
Facebook's componentkit looks good.
