Yeah. It almost feels like there's a ceiling on quality imposed by the platform. 60fps is still seen as an aspirational goal for webapps, and most apps we use everyday are just...okay.
I've yet to use a webapp that I found truly inspiring in execution and design. I may just be a snob. It's possible, but most of the time it always feels like once you're starting to settle in and really use a webapp, the seams show themselves somehow: the browser hiccups, a server is slow, the React filler boxes linger for just too long. However, this doesn't really matter; the real goal of webapps is mostly to generate economic activity.
In the past, this caused me some existential grief. I deal with it by simply avoiding any dev work related to the web. For my own projects, I stick to native apps. I think it says something when I choose putting up with Xcode vs developing for the web. :)
