Disrespecting your users has very little to do with the tool you use and everything to do with how you use it. One can also be pedantic/fanatic about going by the book to the letter in order to conform with every one of the platform UI's "laws" and still generate a crappy application due to lack of insight on what will be intuitive or useful to the end user. No - a sub-par product will mostly have a sub-par developer responsible. Quality and craftsmanship will come across no matter what technology you decide to use. That's not to say that a good developer couldn't produce an even more polished experience with native programming, but as mentioned before, I doubt the difference is noticeable enough for many applications to justify the dramatic increase in learning curve and maintenance.
