> "quite a lot easier than native development for mobile > platforms" I am going to bet that anyone claiming things like this did not ever half-heartedly attempted to look into native development and has no idea how much native frameworks have to offer.

You'd be wrong. I have done quite a bit. They have a lot to offer, but I think web development is easier and faster.

  Still, you need to be way more qualified to build a successful SaaS or anything interesting on the internet. To build an iPhone app all you need is an Objective-C book, a mac, and $100.

    All you need to build a web app is Chrome, a text editor and a $5/mo hosting account. :D

      Maybe for you. Many highly used web services require non trivial backends. If you have an html5 app that uses local storage, you could host JavaScript for $5 a month, sure.
