A competant iOS or OS X developer can use Interface Builder to create great native UI’s in minutes.

If you are including the wiring of the UI into the application in that time I'm impressed, however you still will need to do another 3 major platforms.

And you'll need to have a designer look them over or design them in the first place for each platform, and write documentation for each platform, and test each platform, etc...

In many cases I won't argue that a native app won't be better for the user in many ways, but you can't argue that it's faster to re-create, document, and test your UI 5 different times.

I’ve found it faster.

Faster to build 3-4 native UIs instead of one HTML based one?
