Native is generally better for both development and the end user. Leave web stuff for the browser.

  Broadly speaking, yes but sometimes you have to consider development, maintenance cost and balance that with experience. For some use cases the delta in user experience is not that dramatic for it to require native applications on multiple platforms. In these cases using web stuff is great, even for apps which try to feel native.

    The cost in maintenance and development for native on mobile is generally on par with web stuff. The web stuff version carries overhead and for non-trivial apps a non-trivial cost that offsets the relatively cheaper labor cost. There's rarely a good reason to choose web over native. The notion that web-based cross platform development is less expensive just hadn't panned out in any organization I've been a part of.
