I prefer a dedicate app because I can alt-tab through a relatively limited number of apps compared to the dozens of tabs I may have open. For example, the desktop app will show notification count in the dock. Imagine if all of your apps had a browser version and you could always pick between a tabbed version vs standalone version. To use the tabbed version of everything would be like using an AOL app back in those days where you alt-tab to the AOL virtual window and then find the app you want within it while wishing you could just use the OS' window manager system.
