>>But in my experience, the vast majority of apps do NOT require those things. If you are making a service like Cherry (On-Demand Car Wash) then you need to maximize the responsiveness of the app. HTML still can't do this although HTML->Native could. On the other hand many people want to write new functionality. HTML is restrictive and results in a subpar product. You get easier development, but its not time saved if you need to redo all your work. Frankly, if your requirements fit into HTML the your app probably sucks! :-)
