Hey men, what about Adobe AIR then? It's out there since 2008, it works on Mac/Linux/Windows/Mobile and it's far more complete than App.js or any other competitor.

You can use flash (OMG) or just plain HTML/JS (I've developed something in the past using both)

But you know, we are in an app era right now and this technology has lost part of his original appeal

Adobe Air dropped support for Linux around January of this year I believe. So not quite a full cross platform solution.

In fact, Adobe has been getting worse with Linux support altogether lately (including the Flash runtime).
