Cross-platform vs native app development: High quality UI/UX - what to choose?

Question

See more:

I don't want UI/UX to be specific to native, they are not.
I create UI/UX from scratch (I mean without using OS specific UI elements, controls...) and it must be high quality.
I have analyzed and think that cross-platform is not reliable for high quality UI/UX (non specific to native), is it true?

Yes and no.

The question is about nothing. It's too vague to discuss seriously. The answer is yes and no, because it all depends on what and how...

I tried to ask a specific question.
#1. It is about feel, look, UI, UX of app.
#2. It is not about hardware/OS specific features.

I analyzed and feel cross platform development is very bad for #1 (not enough), but it is good for simple apps. Is it true?

No. :-)

But all the people in the internet write so?

Then ask those "people in the internet".

Do you consider HTML5 UI/UX high qualitative?

I just consider your question as not making unambiguous sense.

Despite of absolutely vague question, a question about nothing, I'll try to answer.

Yes, I cannot answer seriously, so I'll answer not so seriously. It could be just some considerations.

The software world moves rapidly from native to cross-platform. This is the main trend this day. So, if you embrace cross-platform technologies, you have some chances to arrive with your experience and results when even the compromised quality of cross-platform frameworks and development tools becomes quite satisfactory. Even now, you can produce excellent quality in many areas with cross-platform products. If you want to wait for better quality and then decide what to do, you can easily lose.

But if you completely ignore native programming possibilities, you also may lose.

For a developer, it's most important to keep the grip on most important technology and be able to quickly adopt. At the same time, it's important to be able to quickly evaluate and ignore all the trashy "trendy" initiatives, which will probably always be plentiful. How? It would be a difficult question. This is one of the advanced but critically important skills of an engineer. This is what differs real engineers from people who can just do what they are told to do. I appreciate that you even pose such problems.

Best wishes in New Year!
