It’s cheaper to build multiple native applications than one responsive web app

I think this is a bit of "grass is greener" syndrome.

I developed web apps for 14 years before building ios apps for 5 years.

The last couple of years I've worked on both native apps and responsive web sites.

Both can be pains in the ae. But the pain points are different.

Both are moving rapidly. eg Ios: having to rejig xibs to storyboards was annoying.

Css: Supporting older versions of IE has been a pain.

I could go on at length but plenty of people have already done so.

Was just going to comment that "the grass is always greener..."

For example, here is something that was on the HN front page just a few weeks ago: http://clean-swift.com/mobile-development-projects-fail/
