I definitely agree with this article. The best user experiences I have found myself being wowed by have come from native applications built for the system.
I believe web applications do offer something that native apps don’t and that is mobile. When building a native application and choosing to deploy it it’s not usually just the flick of a switch to produce a mobile version that someone can view on their iPhone, Android phone, etc. With Web Apps comes the ease of optimizing a website for use with mobile devices in the browser. Not as powerful but still provides and option with a lot less barrier to entry for developers.
Of course developing for mobile devices vs. developing for desktops is becoming more unified with the iPhone OS and Android.
