I prefer web apps to native apps any day. However, web apps are limited by what they can do. But what they can do is not consistent - for example, it can take your picture and listen to your microphone if you give permissions; but it can't open a socket. Another example: Chrome came out with an File System Access API [2] in August; it's fantastic (I am using it) and it allows a class of native apps to be replaced by Web Apps. As a user, I don't mind having to jump through hoops (as a user) and giant warning screens to accept that permission - but I want this ability on the Web Platform. For Web Apps to be able to complete with native apps, we need more flexibility Mozilla.
