After reading all the comments here I think developers and users should arrive at a compromise; we (the users) will accept WebView apps and put up with their clunkiness, but developers should pledge to make native versions as soon as they can if their thing becomes popular.

Acknowledge the WebView versions as a beta, because that's what it is; a less than optimal experience for the users.

Treat WebViews as a prototyping tool and please don't sugarcoat it as "indistinguishable" from native apps because they aren't.
