From native point of Tizen already had two reboots.
First it was based on Meego APIs, then it got the C++ dialect from BADA OS (very similar to Symbian) and now they rebooted it again using EFL + C, but adding another C++ API in the process.
Native is not always open to everyone, for example for TVs app developers can only use WebApps and need to become a partner for native code.
So I doubt that Tizen will ever get an app eco-system that people will bother to use.
