Discussion on: PWA vs Native App - What's your preference as a user? As a developer?

As user I prefer everything as native and low-level as possible. Less energy wasted, and things are usually faster.

A non-technical user might not care, as long as the performance is not catastrophic. Although I don't think PWAs will really take off, as long as installation on iOS is hidden in a menu.

As a game-dev-hobbyist I just love PWAs and websites in general for distribution, to quickly throw something on a device, and also having a way to do offline-caching.

I agree on all points! Though, I'm not a game dev, I do have some PWAs I make for close friends and family but nothing I feel that is ready for prime-time.
