Web apps tend to be a mixed bag. After a while they become slow because of dozens of async operations relying on network.

That can be an issue for native apps too, but they tend to be designed in a local-first manner, which means that they'll always have a speed advantage, assuming your typical dev team.

That's a choice.

woah there. No.

So it comes down to the developers (and project management, etc). Yup, I 100% agree with that.

So we agree that it's not a technical difference?
