> Nobody even thinks about how long it takes from the point when a user decides to install an app to when they see the first content. On the web we count that time in milliseconds and on native apps we count minutes. There aren't any hard technical problems there - we obviously manage it on the web, so its easily possible.
If developers had to ship a browser with every webapp I think the situation would be reversed plus some. Shared libraries solved this problem before browsers did. The problem is more likely that developers can't or it's not cost/time effective to build an app without relying on bloated frameworks, or use frameworks built for rapid prototyping and never go back to build it right. That's a problem on the web and native.
