The "problem" is that Jolla seems quite positive about HTML5, and I'm afraid they will actively promote it over better alternatives which leads to a real problem: mediocre apps.

I'm also afraid many developers simply lack the knowledge to make an well-considered decision to use HTML5 - they simply use what they know and even think it's always the best choice, because of the hype.

Indeed, better a HTML5 app than no app, But but with 10+ years of webtech-experience I can't help to be disappointed by it, seeing the slow pace, wrong turns and general amateur appearance of the platform. I think it's a good idea to show that not everybody thinks HTML5 is all heavenly bliss and The One Tool For Everything. So I know, I'm overreacting again and again, but I simply can't find a lot of good in HTML5 for apps, so everytime someone mentions it as if it was, it makes me sad.
