Having dealt with many of the dozens of hybrid platforms, I can assure you that most are slow, poorly integrated, and end up with hard-to-solve UX bugs in any complex application. This is because most of them are based upon producing Javascript and HTML5 with only a few native features.

I know that Apple doesn't want Android versions of their own applications, but there is no excuse why we have to have a discussion about Android first or Apple first for startups if the hybrid solutions were actually sufficient. In practice, there is always a tradeoff.

Also, Apple likes to write SDK features which break their security model that only they may use in their own apps.
