As of right now I still prefer Desktop Apps because there seems to be more functionality with them, and you usually have more control over “advanced” options and tweaking. But I also think that it’s because Desktop Apps have been around longer so they tend to be more advanced on the user end. But, I also think that is changing though as more and better cloud based apps are becoming available. An example of a desktop app that I haven’t been able to find a “real” replacement for in the cloud are video conversion apps. Yes, I know there are a few out there, but I do a lot of video conversion and haven’t found anything to even compare to programs like Convertxtodvd or Winavi All In One Converter. I am hoping this will change since lately I have been totally trying to live in the cloud thanks to recently trying out Chrome OS after reading a previous article here on 40Tech. (Thanks Bobby)! I do think Google is on to something. Another good example of where a desktop app is better is TweetDeck. Even the new app from Google’s web store for Chrome just doesn’t have all the functionality of the desktop version.
