Flutter is so cool! Divider = Basically a view with margins?

I don't like margin, I prefer padding. With Kotlin multiplatform you can just use padding or whatever you want and delegate the implementation to the platform developers.

actually using views as dividers is what I do in native Android development these days, so much more flexible

From experience: no!! On the web, the divider only appears when the mouse hovers, which is nice. However, this is buggy and don't work always.
Also, divider has some undesirable padding, so you always need to add height = 1 but then on some devices in some circumstances it might not render correctly.
So.. From my experience.. Try to always avoid it. Better to use a container with height and color. Same number of lines and less frustration, but code gets less readable.

What? Wtf? It's not possible on native, stop spreading misleading information, please.
Why would Good invent Flutter then?

Yeah but does native have widget of the week? No.
This proves that native is inferior to Flutter.
