I'm all for web apps, unless you need to do things they don't do well. If you are doing, say, video editing -- yeah I want a native desktop app for that. At least currently. But those things are getting fewer and fewer. And it annoys me to no end that I can't, say, run my favorite screencast/video editor (screenflow) on my Windows or Chromebook machine, since it seems pretty deeply tied to the OS. I don't want to have to learn another one, and I don't want to replace my Mac which is on borrowed time. That said, I use a lot of apps like Gimp and Inkscape on my Mac, and they may be technically native, they can be really awful about "feeling native." I don't mind inconsistent user interfaces so much, as long as it is mostly cosmetic. But I've spent SO much time in both of those searching for lost windows, etc. (OMG Inkscape devs, has anyone even tried it on multiple monitors???) Things you never run into with "true" native apps (those two use GTK toolkit). So, I certainly recommend web apps if you app can run sufficiently fast or otherwise can get away with being a web app.
