> 7) People will move away from native app development

I don't really see this happening. At least not in 2015! IMHO nothing gives better performance than native apis. Nothing at all.

Native apps might always be superior in performance. Nevertheless, I doubt that the performance benefit of native over web will be big enough to justify a significantly longer development time as we're approaching (near) native performance. Things changed quite a lot last year: WebGL enabled by default on iOS, Ionic had massive adoption, Firefox OS makes the web a first-class citizen again. IMHO it's only a question of time.

Was Adobe Air way ahead of it's time?
