In a developers head what they probably think is higher priority is

Then they think about how their App looks.
And after all those, they think about its performance.

Despite my inherit bias, I gotta tip my hat to iOS and Android for maturing to the states they are.

Our communities advantages seem to fade just a little every day, a bit like how the far superior Dreamcast was overtaken by the likes of SONY, Nintendo and later MS.
Actually I sat down with both XCode and HELLClipse last week because I was the only at work who had some time over to fix some issues with an app we done for Android and IOS.

And I seriously can say that "little fix" I made took around two days. Yes I know the ordinary people probadly would fix the issues faster. But XCode seems to be a ****ing mess and when talk about AndroidSDK/Eclipse I can say I have worked with Heclipse on lowend embedded too and it always end with that I use ordinary makefiles and arm-gdb/gcc/kateeditor because Hellclipse NEVER works as expected and often ****s up things.

And Eclipse+AndroidSDK crashed SEVERAL times last week in Linux at work. Thats definitivly not okey.

I am sure that app could be fully redone in a week in QtCreator/QML but then again the better often not win because the big coorperations brainwash people how GOOD Android/IOS is for endusers...
