Web vs Native apps in 2013 and beyond

The debate will continue for years. Both have their roles. I prefer the Web on all devices. So for me, my favorite all-time apps is the Web browser. 

Native apps vs Web apps depends upon the the website, the company, internal programming talent, user-base, maintenance costs, etc. It's silly to promote only one type over the other for all situations, but I think the Web is the better choice if limited to one type.
