actually today, I think for most applications, a HTML based UI is good enough performance wise and certainly provides much higher scope for design creativity and flexibility over native framework widgets and views.
The performance improvement has basically come from the massive market that web is and consequently Google, FF and MS optimizing their JS and rendering engines (plus Moore's law)
- kitsunesoba 10y ago> good enough I find that this phrase irks me quite a lot these days. Feels like it's at every corner of software development waiting to pounce and ensure thoroughly mediocre results. There's something to be said about, "don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good" but at the same time, "good enough", especially when it comes to UI speed/responsiveness and UX quality, feels like a massive cop out. Isn't there a middle ground somewhere that doesn't call for such huge concessions?
