It's a shame, really as I actually appreciate chrome apps, considering I use OS X/macOS, Linux and Windows regularly, there's a handful of things I like carrying over with my logged in chrome.
Although there are, or at least were some definite holes in app support.. namely a stand-alone (as much as can be) mail client that supports pop/imap and smtp with tls support. There's a halfway decent SSH client, though getting your private key in can be cumbersome. Aside from that, I don't mind most of my apps being browser based. There are of course limitations, but the remote desktop and ssh apps cover most of that for me.
