The web "sucks" compared to iPad apps because those apps aren't overrun with seizure-inducing ads and crammed with superfluous SEO-optimized content.
IPad apps are designed exclusively to focus on the content or application.
The same is true for iPhone apps. Limited screen real estate forces developers to focus on the usability of their core product.
For example, media iPhone apps focus on the content (i.e., the article or the video). Media websites focus on selling display ads, driving traffic to other sites owned by the same parent company, and forcing as much content as possible onto the page to draw SEO traffic.
So the iPad appears light years more advanced but it's not. Its presentation is just more focused.
