QML vs. HTML5

This doesn't look very unbiased. It shows the "HTML5" version being slow in terms of scrolling through a page, clicking on a tab, and using a slider. Most websites, even on really old phones, scroll just fine, and the same applies to tabs. The slider thing seemed like a very valid concern, but then I googled "range slider" and clicked on the very first link (rangeslider.js.org) and it worked absolutely perfectly on my phone.

There were also two things they said the HTML5 version didn't have at all - a virtual keyboard and clicking on an image. Tapping on images is something people have been doing in HTML for a very, very, very long time. It's not that hard, and it works just fine. I'd say it's probably pretty difficult to mess up.

I think the real advantage shown in the video was the virtual keyboard. I just googled "virtual keyboard" and tapped on the first link on my phone, and the experience was awful.

Qml is part of QT so when they say Qml app it's pretty clear that the app is running on some version of QT.

But HTML5? Was it an SPA running in Chrome? Or maybe something using Cordova? Or what exactly was this HTML5 demo?

This isn't even comparing apples and oranges. This is apple with fruit comparison :)

They are comparing QML with AngularJS. HTML5 doesn't even have a chance

Apparently, the HTML5 version was built with AngularJS. They didn't even give it a fighting chance.

"The AngularJS framework for HTML5 is relatively new, and a valid concern is whether it will be replaced by a new framework in the future." I'd say AngularJS is pretty battle tested at this point... Not to mention that it's now considered old for the industry and is not necessarily performant.

I get that this is put out by qt and is pretty obviously bias, but it seems like they should have given html5 a stronger chance...

For the Dutch: wij van wc-eend...
