Agreed. I work in visualization and there's no way to really do cool things in the mobile space without dropping into apps. HTML5 simply doesn't perform well enough yet and people want a polished experience - that means app development.
I think what people are ignoring is that a lot of what we use has moved from document type sites to application type sites. I browse HN fine with mobile browser, but for almost anything else, I want the app version.
- erikb 13y agoYes, that's a good additional argument. Reading text is okay (although even there sometimes Kindle App is better than the browser). But most often we want interactive experiences and that is where responsiveness and look&feel are quite important.
