I think there's an element of "pendulum swinging" to how we ended up back at native. The browser is a technology that makes things easy, more than it is one that makes things possible. And "mobile" as a marketplace has outpaced the growth of the Web. So you have a lot of people you could be selling to, and a technology that has conceptual elegance, but isn't strictly necessary. Wherever you hit the limits of a browser, you end up with one more reason to cut it off and go back to writing against lower level APIs. In due course, the pendulum will swing back again. Easy is important too, especially if you're the "little guy" trying to break in. And we're getting closer to that with the onset of more and more development environments that aim to be platform-agnostic, if not platform-independent.
