Interesting article.
I think that the slowness of webviews has much value than we can image. This guarantees to Apple, Google etc to have a total controll over apps distribution, in other words a Fast WebView is equal to minus money for them.
- jarek-foksa 12y agoWKWebView in iOS 8 and OS X 10.10 [1] and Chromium-based WebView in Android 4.4 [2] don't have the performance issues that the old WebView APIs used to have.

- eloisant 12y agoNot really, most editors will still want to be in the app store / play store even if they can release a pure web app. From a marketing point of view releasing "an app in appstore/play store" has a lot of value vs releasing "a mobile web app" Also, iOS and Android since 4.4 have pretty good performances in the webviews.
- resca79 12y agothe point is not the releasing to AppStore but the download from app store. You could release a webApp to appstore but not download it from the store.
