I still don't see how that makes up for all the drawbacks.
Web-apps are terrible. You can't find them in your task bar, you often close them by mistake with your browser, they're a factor 10 slower and more resource hungry than they could be, they have terrible response times and they often lack major features of the native version.
The discomfort of having to have some binary outside of the package manager in /opt/bin is pretty low in my list of priorities compared to that.
