I hope this trend will stop this instant. Why should we develop a Chrome App which only runs in Chrome (cross platform though) ? With existing technologies you can target way more people with all kind of browsers. (Ok there are browsers which are hard to optimize for)
I feel like we are going back from all these benefits the browserS gave us.
You don't have to use it. I am really confused by the sentiment in this thread. If you want your web app to be cross platform then don't use nacl. You will be no worse off than you were yesterday before having read this article.
