As an Android user I'm very fond of native apps as long as they integrate into the OS well via activities, intents, content provider interfaces etc, all stuff you can't really do with web apps (though I know someone is going to want to chime and and talk about WebIntents or whatever other thing nobody actually uses because it just doesn't deliver the same sort of flexibility as what I'm talking about).

So I'm sticking with native apps where it makes sense.

Having said that, for the type of site this actual post is discussing, eh... web is probably just fine. Go ahead and use it... I have no issue with the linked article, but some of the people discussing this here and other places seem to be nudging this into a discussion about "mobile web is ready to replace all native apps", which IMO is a ridiculous statement.
