You know why it is funny? The things that native offers without even third party code is leaps and bounds beyond what web community offers for mobile and will stay this way for a long time, if not forever. So far community has been reinventing the same wheel a thousand times over and there is no sign of progress. Guys, look, another MVC framework, how cool is that!
