There are many HTML5 photo editors that work well (for example: Aviary, which powers the Flickr photo editor), but Google chose to port a mobile photo editor to Native Client. Google managed to build a powerful office suite using web apps that work in any modern browser and it now ports a mobile Office editor to Native Client.

Native Client is great for apps that can't be built using web technologies, but it looks like Google starts to rely too much on Native Client. Native Client also gives languages like C and C++ (and eventually others as well) the same level of portability and safety that JavaScript provides on the web today,' explains Google.

Native Client puts web applications on the same playing field as local applications, providing the raw speed needed to compete with traditional software like 3D games, video editing, and other applications. 'The Native Client open-source technology is designed to run native compiled code securely inside browsers.

Porting mobile apps to Native Client doesn't make the web better because these apps only work in Chrome. I've noticed that more and more Chrome apps and extensions use Native Client: Google+ Photos app, the Office Viewer and Editor.
