Everytime I see one of those, I want to love them. Then I remember how hard it is for those tools to keep up with the OS features. Not being able to add or fix stuff because a new OS version is out and the tool is not up to date (yet) is a total deal breaker.

Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt.

I would love to be proven wrong though! ;)

After trying every cross platform framework under the sun, I'm inclined to agree. I can appreciate the talent and engineering ingenuity required to build something like this but I'll take a wait and see approach.

These things are almost constantly breaking so good luck to the team working on this, its a hell of a problem to bite off.

On the other hand Telerik has made a name for themselves by being very high quality tools. I'd trust them to do it right.
