What more features? All can be done in javascript, without making users install garbage, without spending extra resources. I prefer companies spend their resources on improving the product instead of implementing same thing thrice.

What most people dont realize is web apps are a boon to linux people. Most companies would not develop for linux at all.

Support for most platform APIs?

Funny, this is exactly my issue with web apps. I don't want to use software where the engineers have done a poor job reimplementing things the system provides for free.

Build the tools to enable them. Dont blame engineers lack of experience on the language. I used libreoffice early on, was not impressed. Same story.
