Perhaps, but the same has been said for what the last two or three years and in that time frame we've gone from single core to quad core and 800 MHz to like 1.9 GHz and HTML5 apps still are not up to snuff.

I wanted HTML5 apps to be awesome because the developer experience was easier, but it makes for a sucky product, so I started just digging into native and making better software.

I've learned my lesson. At some point, we all have to realize that you do the hard, messy work to build the best experience possible for the end user. If getting to that was cheap and easy, we woudln't be worth what they pay us to build software.

With the benefit of hindsight, do you still think the developer experience is easier with HTML5, or was it just that you were already familiar with HTM5, but weren't familiar with the native tools?

I'm not particularly impressed with HTML5's developer experience compared to say QML.
