● cost reduce ● lower performance (not ● fast development actual for enterprise) ● OS specific supports by ● not modern OS UI (can be cross-platform solution solved by using of third-party provider JS solutions in hybrid ● small team platforms) ● reuse developers from other ● addiction from directions (especially web cross-platform solution developers for hybrid provider (especially for not solutions) open-source solutions)

RubyMotion Rhodes - main idea Client-Server web application with RoR backend
We have a web browser with HTML/CSS/JS code and separate logic/DB ? This is well known client-server architecture for web applications !
We have a lot of already existing code for this platforms. We have a lot of experienced developers for this platforms. We already used this in our web applications etc.
