It's strange how we've gone from a world of native apps for a select few platforms, excluding all others, to a world of web apps that supposedly run on everything (as long as they have a supported browser). Going from the choice of native performance or not available, to sluggish performance everywhere - except oh yes, there's only a select few platforms supported by the necessary browser.
I don't think it was a good trade.
