Web apps are broken and always have been. The whole model was designed to serve and display static hyperlinked documents, not to recreate Excel in a browser. The lure of web apps was serving them from a centrally controlled location thus eliminating the problems that existed with pushing out and updating software on many computers. However, that problem was solved many years ago and I point to iTunes as that inflexion point. It's been easy to push updates to desktop clients for years so the main problem web apps were attempting to solve hasn't been a problem for, like, 15 years. The ultimate irony... The phone app eco-system and how it dwarfs mobile web apps.
