What do you currently build?

Native Android or iOS?

What IDE do you use and what issues do you face?

Thanks for your comment!

I have seen some really good things about Qt.

Are there any user paradigms that work better for Qt? For instance, CoronaSDK really excells at game development.

If I click on one more movie title in AmazonPrime Instant Video that is simply not offered in any form at all (streaming, rental, purchase, nada), I am going to cry.

No one seems to want to discuss the idea that Yahoo! and Facebook were simply adhering to their illegal agreement to not poach talent from each other.
