And if I can't find the app because of the awful app store interface, and if it's stealing my information by demanding permissions that it doesn't need, and if it's showing me ads that I can't block, and if it's bothering me with constant updates, why should I care if it's "fluid"? The goal of software is not to look pretty, it's to be functional. Web apps are more functional than native apps by my metrics. I do not care if it's less fluid, because I use software to do things.

So far you haven't described any metrics > because I use software to do things. So do I. And web apps always get in the way of me doing things: they lag, they perform poorly, they break al platform conventions, they hog resources,they can barely display static information without breaking etc.
