Testing is a factor, but there are compliance references on the
net. And it is getting better, much better.
Every once in a while I have to fix an issue after deployment,
usually a visual bug in a new browser for which I can find a
workaround quickly by searching the web.
If by "instant" you mean "this web 'app' leaves my mobile
browser completely unresponsive for up to a full minute every
time I tap a link, every time I use it".
Well, if it does not target a cellphone then it probably won't be
pleasant on a small screen anyway. Mobile Chrome and latest
Safari are pretty good, aren't they?
Polymer, web components.
Exactly. Piling more stuff on top. ;)

Neh, I prefer rolling my own, but it is more expensive than a
well designed reusable widgets for things like admin interfaces.
The problem is Javascript, which don't provide the right
abstractions. But there are alternatives (Dart, TypeScript etc)
