Mobile developer hell
Multiple platforms -- each with their own SDKs, distribution mechanisms and security models
Which platforms? For Which Users? Port, test, update and support that application
This "plumbing" work dampens innovation, distracting from development of the core technology
The modern Web browser: Reduce risk and development time, maximize reach for app developers.
To hell with it
