They tend to use ~10x the memory that seems reasonable—generous, even—for what they're doing, and periodically misbehave and decide to eat tons of cycles continuously for no obvious reason, in a way native apps don't, or at least not so frequently and nigh-universally.

But, aside from the weight of unnecessary/unused browser features, I think that has more to do with the needs of the developers attracted to the platform more than the platform itself. "The needs" being a requirement to ship a MVP ASAP using developers that can agree on a lowest common denominator language of js.
