react-native-gesture-recognizers

Only handles pan and swipe gestures; lacks common multi-touch gestures like pinch or rotate, which are essential for many interactive mobile apps, forcing developers to seek additional libraries.

Relies on class decorators, which are not aligned with modern React Native practices using hooks, making integration with functional components cumbersome and potentially limiting adoption in newer projects.

The setGestureState prop indicates potential performance issues, as managing gesture state internally might impact responsiveness in animation-heavy applications, especially with continuous callbacks.

As admitted in the README, gestures can interfere with each other, and combining them requires additional wrapping, limiting complex interaction designs until planned improvements are implemented.
