> Modern web apps can score better here, but quite often they don't. The more complex the become the less native they get, scrolling, text input, etc are generally OK (unless your an arshole that overrides scroll behaviour), but html still doesn't have an equivalent for native table views and the goodies (navigation, resizing, performance) that comes with them.
Oh yeah, complex UI stuff is definitely a good reason to avoid web apps.
But for many, probably even most apps it's precisely scrolling, text input, and other 'basic' stuff that matters, and in those cases a web app's 'default' will be more native.

I agree on a personal level, but I suspect we're outliers. Can't substantiate that at the moment though, so I might be wrong.
