Wasteful and always, always a worse experience. I'm sorry if this ruffles feathers here or people feel called out, but I can FEEL the difference in these web-cruft apps every single time, full stop. I would Pepsi challenge this as many times as people want and I will eat my snow boots if I get it wrong.
If you make your app with web tools, I will not use it if I can conceivably manage doing so. And if I must, then I guarantee you I will do it as grudgingly and as little as I possibly can.
