So your users will need a specific browser to use your Web app?

This goes against a primary advantage of Web apps... They work on many different browsers/devices*

No. For the use case mentioned (editing and sharing docs in Google Docs), no one would be using a Web app, because there isn't one anymore. With the browser itself able to do directly what Google Docs is being used for, there's nothing left.
