Avoid Cross-Platform Mobile Frameworks

It's a bit of a rant, so I'll just pick a few arguments I don't agree with. It isn't native: html/js apps are a supported way to build apps for most platforms. It crashes: I doubt it, for html apps. It's the least common denominator: you're just responding to robla, who pointed out “it's simple enough to replace portions of the app with native portions where necessary”.
