I still prefer crap lightning fast code to crap tediously slow code though. If the only thing people do is build a native application instead of a webapp and that speeds my stuff up by 80% then that'll make me very happy.

When "lightning fast" just means native, then it could very easily be slower than a webapp that uses a more fitting algorithm.
