Is that not true though? In most cases, apps that use an intermediary layer will not be as polished or usable as an app developed using the native tools.
- confuzatron 17y agoWell, Steve Jobs said it so of course it's true dear.
- cheald 17y agoI don't think that's true at all. Layers of abstraction can improve the quality of a product by letting the developer focus on polish, rather than fighting a lower-level language. We see vast quantities of applications written in high-level languages on high-level frameworks that behave marvelously.
