For electron-based tools that were designed as web-first apps, I agree with you that it's better to have them in a browser tab than as standalone apps. However, for real desktop tools that utilize the operating system's bells and whistles, which truly make an app a desktop app—like Sublime—I'd never use an alternative in the browser.
