As a similar mac user, I would agree. However, when I flip flop to other platforms, the native experience isn't so great - so outside of the mac, I can see the general desire to just make the web the UI for any and all productivity apps at least (and who knows, perhaps even richer apps and 3d stuff in the future).
Its funny, on a mac, if you time things with a watch its not "fast" - loading times, and so on, but the experience is smooth enough that I find the native apps quite nice to quickly open, jot down a note and move on (eg evernote).
- zimbabwe 17y agoThat's actually something I noticed on the Mac. It's good at staying sleek enough that on the desktop you notice a difference. On Windows I used Google Apps for nearly everything. The desktop equivalents weren't good enough to be worth switching to. I'd still take Google Docs over OpenOffice instantly. So my desktop argument only stands when the desktop things are so good that a web equivalent wouldn't work. I doubt I could ever find an online to-do list as good as The Hit List, for instance.
