The fact that you don't see the benefits of the native app over the mobile website is simply an indication that we still have a lot of work to do with the apps, which we are excited to do.

But, is it a waste of effort to bring a truly integrated, seamless Wikipedia experience to our users' mobile devices? I don't think so. Nor is it a waste of effort for the WMF to be seen as a driving force in mobile design and mobile user experience.
