I'm not sure what you're referring to. Which UX issues are insurmountable in a web app?

Generally speaking, they can all be worked around by a good designer. The inferior install, update, and cross platform experience for native apps can't be worked around.

Are you talking about like realtime video authoring apps or games? I'll admit in those categories the web is often not the best choice.

You can get close to the look & feel of native app, but you can never get there.
