The problem with html5 apps right now is theres no good platform for developing them. Jquery mobile has issues. Sencha touch has issues. Ive looked at touch before but am concerned abut bugginess and i really dont want to learn c#.

The mobile app environment is a huge headache.

I agree that the tools could be improved.

But it gets easier if you forget about trying to emulate the native look & feel. The most popular apps on iOS are moving away from stock widgets anyway.

We really need a Visual Studio for interactive web apps.
