Pros
Pro Xamarin Insights and Test Cloud increase user experience
Pro Cross-platform
Apps built with Xamarin can run natively on Android, iOS and Windows Mobile. Xamarin compiles the same C# or F# codebase to native code that runs on several platforms.
Pro Open source
The Xamarin SDK is free and open source and released under the MIT license.
Pro Compiles to native platform code
A key difference is that Fuse uses JS exclusively for app logic while producing native code for everything else, including population and manipulation of the UI.
Pro Native performance
Pro OpenGL UI
With the option to use OpenGL based UI components, Fuse is the only of the three platforms that offer a reliable “write once, run everywhere” approach where designers can control responsive layout, look and feel down to points, pixels and percentages, keyframes and easing curves.
Cons
Con Build time tends to be longer than Android Studio
Con Slow to implement new features; must wait 1+ month to be able to access it
Con UI editing and creation is unstable
Con Little reuse of web knowledge
Fuse doesn't support Angular or React so there is little reuse of existing web tech knowledge. The team have said they are exploring Angular 2 and then maybe React though.
