Well, you should use whatever rocks your boat. Personally, I think its a little weird that Twitter Web consumes a lot of CPU as compared to the Desktop app. As for GMail, I find switching between labels (on the web interface) very slow, if you have a ton of labels/emails. So instead of setting up Gears or something, I just started using a native app.

What native app do you use? I use Apple Mail since IMO it has the best IMAP support of the lot, but archiving and filing under labels is a pain. Apple's way is to use drag and drop, which doesn't rock my boat.

  Sparrow (http://sparrowmailapp.com http://sparrowmailapp.com). Its quite literally, a godsend.

      That's an unfortunate side-effect of the Mac app store. It's too bad, because functional demos was one of the nice things about the Mac software ecosystem. I hope demos are a feature they're working on.

        There's Sparrow Lite, an ad-supported free version that's set to release in the Mac App Store but hasn't been approved yet. Seems they're working on a non-Mac App Store version too. http://blog.sparrowmailapp.com/post/3197243085/sparrow-1-0-is-now-available-on-the-mac-appstore http://blog.sparrowmailapp.com/post/3197243085/sparrow-1-0-i...

      Give it a few days, that was literally only released last night, and they're still waiting for the ad supported version to be approved. Up until then it was in open beta.

  Mailplane rocks. It's more of an SSB than a pure native app like Twitter for Mac, but it has a lot of nice little integration points with Mac OS X. It's not cheap, but it's well worth the price (its also due for a paid upgrade soon, IMO, as I have not paid anything beyond the first version three years ago).

ChromeDeck is pretty great. It's an HTML5 TweetDeck app in the Chrome Web Store that feels almost native. Multicolumn layout for your lists, inline video / photos, and desktop notifications with sound. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hbdpomandigafcibbmofojjchbcdagbl https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hbdpomandigafcibbm...
