Feature Request

Please remove reanimated and gesture-handler dependencies (make it optional)

Why it is needed

Since the reanimated and gesture-handler packages are horribly maintained, it makes it impossible for many developers to use this awesome library. I spent 4 days installing, but now I'll find another bottom sheet packages because installing one package for 4 days is not something I am getting paid :) Especially if it still doesn't work.

Dowgrading reanimated worked, but I've tried all the compatible version of gesture-handler and the project won't even boot (builds but crashes after the start).

It seems the maintainer has no time to work on this, and have no clue how to fix this issue:
software-mansion/react-native-gesture-handler#2749
software-mansion/react-native-gesture-handler#3030
software-mansion/react-native-gesture-handler#2847

All the same reports I am experiencing too, each issue is completely unresolved.

Possible implementation

• Make it totally optional even if we lose some features
• better: change it to adapter pattern, so we could select other animation and gesture handler packages if necessary
