The problem with webapps right now is that they look and perform badly.
I just tried to make a multi-touch piano keyboard work in-browser using html5. The only thing that worked was the graphics, since that was a single image! The chances of playing a sound when the user presses a key in any kind of cross-browser way seems shot.
