> I have yet to find a "web app" that I delight in using, though I love many web sites and native apps.
I wonder how much of that is an intrinsic problem with web apps conceptually, or a result of the various limitations and design fuck-ups of the browser vendors.
The fuck-ups aren't just on the browser vendor site.
The entire front-end ecosystem is currently worse than enterprise Java at its peak and the quality issues stem from all sides.
The best web app I use daily is Slack (wrapped in its native app "shell" on macOS). But it still feels pretty poor.
On iPad it's worse. On iPhone strangely, it's not too bad.
If slack is the best, it really goes to show why nobody should be making non-native apps. Slacks Mac client (and their iOS client) is really, really bad.
