It's much better than it was, and about to become even moreso. The major part of work over the past year has been invisible to you so far, but cross-device predictability is coming from almost every major manufacturer this year.

On the other hand Flash wasn't welcome on the iPhone when Apple didn't want native Apps made by third parties running on it... the App Store was an afterthought, leaving Flash on the side of the road clearly was not.

Or maybe the App Store was just a very well kept secret...
