Since when is a Nexus 5 a low end device?! It'll easily scroll anything in the os at 60fps and there are huge amount of people out there running significantly slower phones.

Again, the scroller works! It's not busted, the app doesn't crash on a large group of slower phones. Many of my users run slower Android devices.

The OP who has a general bias against JS centric frameworks stated that the scroller on his device did not run @ 60fps. I dont have any benchmark results to prove this to be so, so I can only take his word for it.

Now, when someone who has a bias against something, provides an answer to support his argument without evidence, is that reason enough to ditch a framework?

As I have mentioned, I have a large amount of users across multiple platforms and devices. That for me is good enough evidence that people enjoy using the app that is built on the phonegap platform. Are there limitations, YES... give me a framework that doesn't have them.

So enough about phonegap, show me a react native app running on multiple platforms built and managed by one person with large amount of users.
