and bunch of the companies are still betting on the web platform, trying to convince others that web is the best way on mobile development.
The webview on android uses at least 4 threads, which consumes a lot more battery and slower than native apps that's written efficiently. And the worst part is, even if you are loading "HTML" straight from your phone, it still will never as efficient and smooth as the native apps.
I think the only exception to the rule is WebOS, which runs extremely smooth, this is because the entire architecture was built that way.
This is a really bad take on Microsoft technology lol.
I've wrapped a lot of my stuff around .NET technology and is very happy with it. You can definitely save a lot of time and launch your product fast to draw attracting with .NET. In a B2C business, you need to bring your product to the market as fast as possible before you can present, the end user doesn't care what you are built based on. Just take a look at match.com..
I was a FF user until I found out Chrome was much faster with the webkit, but I'll always give Firefox a shot again if they manage to beat Chrome's speed.
