He has a point. I'm an ex-air developer. I moved to WPF. So yes, ok there are heaps of bad air app out there, because the learning curve is so low. That being said I think AIR can be very close to native. It takes that extra mile of programming that most don't do. In the end, you might as well make it native. But think about this for a moment. An AIR app can and does run well on both Mac and PC. I understand native is better, but it's not a simple matter of money and time. You need to find the skills for a decent mac developer. Most of them are gone crusading in the world of iOS and too busy to make a mac client. .NET developers are plentiful though. my 5c.
