Web versus native apps

John Gruber:

The web is great. I love the web. I continue to publish my life’s work on the web. But what the web is great for is only what it was designed for: publishing HTML pages. For everything else, the web is a kludge, and native apps provide a superior experience.

The rise in importance of notifications is only going to reinforce that.
