A comment on DHH: we're already overloaded with connectivity. Parent comment
I agree that a Javascript-based client-app might not perform as well as a native C/C++ app, but I would not say "could never be developed"...
Adobe Apollo does generate a compiled package (aka "air"). I believe Apollo also generates a native executable file after the app is installed.
PS: I'm not an Apollo evangelist. I just wanted to point out that web-based client apps are not about off-line features.
