Depending on what kinds of apps you write, this may never happen. How long do you think it will take, for example, for something like the Accelerate framework to be available in a usable form in a web api? It's hard enough to get something relatively simple like local storage standardized.

Unfortunately most of the apps that can be realized as web apps are just more of the glorified paperwork UIs I burned out on writing as a web dev in the first place.

Unfortunately they're disabling the freakin' Upload inputs, so file uploads aren't possible without native hooks.
