> Developers need to develop several versions of their app (they could spend that time on improving one version). I hear this line so much you'd think the web app world is full of the most amazing light and high-performance web apps out there, that show the best of what we can do with our web browsers. But no, it's just full of bloated ever-growing ever-more-resource-hungry framework-heavy web apps wrapped in Electron. It's just cost-cutting, let's not pretend it's anything but. Slack is a great example of this. A text chat app that could be done natively and isn't. And the reality is it saves them money and it's acceptable to have it just as a web app. It is not, however, in any single way better than a native app could be.
