I'm confused because you seem to be insinuating that fully native applications are bad thing, and much rarer than they actually are. This meme thing is obviously daft, but I'll be very sad if I'm forced in to using compromised cross-platform apps or web-apps for everything.

To target a niche app on a niche native platform because you like Xcode is not a compromise?

Isn't it obvious that a GUI application that has to bend to the conventions of multiple platforms will be, at best, on par, but likely worse, than had it been designed for a specific platform? (Again, I'm not talking about this daft meme thing :))

I was trying to think too much about it. So right, GUI. But there is too few true multiplatform applications anyway. You do have ports for different platforms and those ports can each use appropriate gui toolkit.
