I don't disagree, because I prefer web things on the web myself, and the idea that app updates might be two steps away from the web version really irks me. But everyone has their routines. Some people like the self-contained feeling of everything being an app on the phone. Others prefer the self-contained feeling of everything being in the browser. There is no general answer other than "choice," and given a choice, there will almost never be an option everyone agrees on. One of the laziest apps I ever saw was a MOTD that literally only had 365 quotes that occasionally got updated. Is that a real app? It's not even a real web app. To someone, it's the bee's knees I guess. Not I. But kudos to whomever made coin on such a thing. I thought it would have been brilliantly underhanded to write a horoscope app that way.
