> The user experience problem is a real one.

Not in my experience. Without fail the only people I've ever heard complain about UX of hybrid apps are other developers who know which signs to look for. Most people won't notice or won't care to notice so long as the app does what it's supposed to do.

After all, I've been hearing developers complain about Craiglist's poor UX for years and it hasn't seemed to affect them.

Oh they will, they will. But you will never hear them say "man, this app sucks, cause it is hybrid, I wish they did it all native"—because they don't know the difference in the technologies. But they do know the difference in experience.


Well, the proof is in the pudding. If what you're saying is true Basecamp's ratings would be a lot lower, wouldn't they?
