> given how well most poeple think they recognize "native" widgets in mobile Every time I've opened a Cordova app I haven't known it was done in Cordova, but immediately thought the app was acting very oddly. Checked the source and yeah, there it is. Cordova. That's not to say that every Cordova app is bad, I'm sure there some that work well, and if I had a need for any of the example apps in their showcase[0] I would have already tested some. HTML5 performance isn't so much the issue as the implementation of the wrapper. Electron stands as a testimonial to the capability of web technologies as an application platform, it's the history of Cordova applications, even in the last month I have tested an up to date Cordova app, and it just doesn't hold up to the hype. And I'm someone who really wants cross-platform web-based development on mobiles to be great.
