Mobile applications on adobe air are more productive than on the phone gap?

Question

Mobile development

Hello everyone,
I'm studying the topic of cross-platform development. I found out about frameworks like phone gap - the functionality of the application is wrapped in a browser engine and the output is a native application.
About adobe air did not understand. In theory, if the application is wrapped in a flash player, then this is much more productive than the application in the browser (the speed of working with the DOM and animation leaves much to be desired).
What do you think? And for applications on adobe air, only the installed flash plugin on the phone will be needed?

Answer 1

air is air. it's not a flash player. and yes, it seems to be more productive due to the fact that air can use the graphics chip directly.
but that html5 that air is crutches already. maybe something like haxe is more suitable for you?

Answer 2

There is also cross-platform QML (JS), which is easy for a web developer to master, it is compiled in C ++ and rendered by OpenGL, so everything is fine with speed.
