This article feels dated. If he wrote it in 2011, I would agree with him. Web apps don't try to recreate the native UI anymore - something that used to be the case some years ago in the iOS1-6 era. Nowadays the UI of Android 5+, iOS 7+ and WinPhone7+ look very simple and Web-alike. Simply avoid bloated outdated big JS libraries and use a minifier to shrink the JS and CSS files. I thought the trend reversed as many little commerce switched from offering a Android/iOS app to a mobile-friendly website. This may not be a global trend. quirksmode.org used to be great resource in the IE6 era. Nowadays http://caniuse.com http://caniuse.com and Mozilla's MDN have replaced it completely for me as it offers up-to-date information.
