> a lot of the horrible UX practices we accept on the web wouldn't fly in a native environment.
I'm interested by this statement. I like to think I just web and native apps by the same standards. I've seen horrible UX in both - and great UX in both. I currently lean towards favouring web apps based purely on my feeling that I tend to get a better UI on average.
Together we obviously represent a pretty small sample, but I'm curious what OS you use? One of the reasons I like MacOS is because the apps are typically better designed than what I got when I used Windows or Linux as my desktop (don't get me started on Linux UIs).
Don't get me wrong, I've seen some bad app UIs on the Mac -- even from Apple. The old skeuomorphic days are coming back to me as I type this and I'm still sad for them. :)
