What is everyone's cross platform frontend framework of choice

I have been experimenting with react native as I heard it's one of the good ones, and so far it is not a particularly enjoyable experience. Lots of irritating things like no global styling, lots of ugly, hard to read properties on tags, etc

In a perfect world where you get to choose, which frontend frameworks would you use and why?

I've been building sites for decades and have never used a frontend framework, just html, css, JavaScript and sometimes jQuery.

But I'm currently working on learning React because apparently it's so popular, most full stack jobs are now requiring it.

In a perfect world I would only build the front end with Html and CSS. I like the simplicity and also the security it provides.

I like you. Too many websites are about five times too bloated for what they actually deliver.

Yeah that's what I usually do, tbh frontend frameworks seem kinda pointless to me. You'd think they'd be an improvement on regular js but no

The issue is making it a mobile app, as that's the primary platform for this project (though might be better to just make it a PWA instead of using react native
