This. As someone who has written several manuscripts, and published one, I can tell you that it all boils down to creativity (and good grammar, of course:P). As long as the tool is capable, and the person using it knows what he/she is doing, there shouldn't be a problem. I think people tend to get a case of grassisgreeneritis, and want to hop platforms just because "someone did something cool over there, I can too" and then jumps ship every time something new comes out. Those are the people that never finish anything. Just my opinion, of course.
You're right, but for my company (and me in personal), the first thing to check is stability, performance and capabilities. Ludei's cocoonjs looked like a viable way of getting good performance and great API, but they're lacking support, to say the least. We've been working on our first game using pixijs and Ludei's cocoonjs, and now we've found ourselves chasing after them, and have yet to get any response...
Stability, Performance and Capabilities are the main things I have to check before recommending anything to my company, and while Scirra capabilities are great, its integration with some good 3rd party plugins/adaptors is still lacking (not because of Scirra fault)
