This is a popular idea lately, that web apps can (and should!) do everything that native apps do. Are there any examples of that people actually use regularly?

This is a popular idea lately, that web apps can (and should!) do everything that native apps do. Are there any examples of that people actually use regularly? I know I have tried a few of these 'apps-in-a-browser' and even the ones that worked reasonably well were still clunky enough that it always felt like a worse version of something else, to the point that I stopped using them quickly.
- sprout 16y agohttp://touch.facebook.com http://touch.facebook.com is a better app than the native client (on Android.) m.facebook.com is trash, and really so is the native client. Though I don't think a native app could do better than the touch site, except for the obvious ways it can't integrate and do notifications (which I have turned off anyway.) http://i.reddit.com http://i.reddit.com is a touch better than RedditIsFun, though RedditIsFun is faster and has better caching, so I use that. This is on a Motorola Droid, so on a current-gen device i.reddit might be better.
