I'm not quite sure the 'app gap' exists still, does it? Recently switched from iPhone 5S > HTC One M8, and nothing reallllly I miss.

That's on phones. The tablet app gap still exists.
It's a big problem for music apps. Android has not delivered low-latency MIDI/audio up to now, allowing Apple to own that market (much like it did with Mac v windows for a long time).
To clarify, you are talking about music production apps? Android L introduced new APIs to improve that, so hopefully it will improve soon.
Yes. I was glad to see it has finally been addressed but realistically it will take several years to close the gap, since people who have gotten used to various iPad apps have little incentive to switch platform.
What kind of music apps are you referring to, and how big is the audience?
