Whatever. Life is way too short for some of us. Sign up for the Corona SDK and just have fun. Creating good apps has nothing to do with the tools you use, it is how you use them ... And more importantly than that, knowing how to design, polish, shine, and pay attention to detail is what makes a good app. Maybe adhering to some standard UI styles and layouts as well. EDIT: Wow, I'm bummed that this is getting down-voted. Maybe reply with WHY you are down-voting because developing GOOD apps in Corona is much easier than the route described by the author of this post.

Corona is five different flavors of awesome. If you want to write 2d iphone apps with 2d physics. If you don't want to, you will have to look elsewhere though.

  That's not true. Now you can develop for Android AND iOS with Corona, plus, you can use their Native UI API to create actual apps with Corona, not just games: http://developer.anscamobile.com/content/native-ui http://developer.anscamobile.com/content/native-ui Check out their showcase: http://developer.anscamobile.com/showcase/ http://developer.anscamobile.com/showcase/ I'm not affiliated with Corona other than that I'm a subscriber and developer who uses Corona and loves the heck out of it.

    Not to be too negative, but out of the 15 apps in the showcase, the only three that are not games and have a native looking UI are: Canyon County National Parks - looks good, but scrolling is noticeably non-native in several ways, and the app is oddly slow sometimes Drum Toy - takes forever to load, ugly sliders iSleepWell - UI is confusing and difficult to use (tap areas too small)
