I'm currently using NativeScript and react-native for app development and I have to comment because items like <ListView> [1] and Grid-Layouts [2] can be done using both technologies which use native rendering and achieve 60 FPS. They both have listeners for common UI gestures. If you're building a normal app (no video game) with some forms, list views and maybe some diagrams, just use those. They give you a native experience and you don't have to build it for each platform - we're currently not in the state of "write once, run everywhere", but we're close. It's really easy to get started, please read about those if you're not satisfied with the current level of Cordova and Web apps.

I used Framework7 for a PWA (Progressive Web App) and it has a very lean learning curve if you already know web stuff and it was very easy to integrate e.g. Chartjs, so if you don't like react or NativeScript's XML you can also use HTML and plain Javascript, although the iOS 10 change is a bit troubling. I don't have any problems like a scrolling titlebar with it. Try and see if it fits your use case.
