Instead the user has to worry about whether or not the many libraries bundled by the webapp are all kept up to date by each and every app developer. Gone will be the days of shared libraries and centrally managed security updates for those. And don't suggest that webapps are secure because they run in a sandbox. Just wait, as more and more people move their work to webapps, more and more flexibility will be demanded. Soon you'll have to pierce sandboxes because AppA needs to throw data to AppB with a little Python script you wrote inbetween. Then the security issues will come, as will the library incompatibilities, and we'll be back where we are now, except the heterogeneous world of today will be replace by a JS monstrosity with browsers playing OSs.
