First I need to clarify some information:

Cordova, also know as PhoneGap, is a bridge to build Hybrid applications and enable you to run in various platforms such as Android, iOS, WP8, Firefox OS, Tizen and others using Javascript + Html5 + css3.

Intel XDK relies on Cordova. Intel XDK is most an easy way to use cordova since it gives you the IDE and the ability to build your application on the cloud instead on your machine. And I am using it on Linux for almost a year without a problem, may you can tell what kind of problems did you have?

So, for now, my answer is that the best cross platform to build hybrid applications is Cordova and you can use Kendo Ui, JQuery Mobile, Ionic, Etc.

If you are looking for an easy way to use admob and push notifications my advice is that you gonna need to use an paid platform such as Telerik Platform($$$) or Ionic($? Free??). In this field Intel XDK did not helped me, once I had to built these features on my way because the support for them in Intel XDK is only if you are using the Legacy Platform (don't do it!).

It's worth take a look at NativeScript (BETA) which currently(2015-03) promises a cross-platform to build native applications Android, iOS and Windows Phone using a code in JS / Typescript.
