True. Don't take this the wrong way: As a programmer, I would also add that it was a pleasure to work with a real UX API again, and not have to deal with HTML's crazy issues, centering text, jQuery, browser incompatibilities, etc. I always had a <div> that didn't quite work the way I wanted.

In the end, a native app looks much better for fewer lines of code (assuming you can stand Objective-C).

But if it was built in html, js, etc it'd be accessible on all platforms for far fewer lines code than building separate apps.
