You are basically asking for a native OS app, which the web cannot match.

But users demand them anyway on the web so here were are.

Of course I would prefer a native app, but I don't think it is unreasonable of me to expect a web app to:

- Respect the UI conventions of web browsers and not override standard behavior

- Respond immediately to user input

- Not take up hundreds of megabytes of RAM

I have yet to use a React app that doesn't immediately "feel" like it's using React. There's some weird added latency that I can't really describe, but I don't feel it on Angular apps.
