I see five reasons, and they are all advantages of being cloud-based, rather than a desktop application. There isn't much about drawing itself.

And there are plenty of disadvantages related to the drawing.

Most annoyingly, the fact that you can't alt+drag or alt+nudge (arrow keys) to duplicate an object. For me that's the single biggest time-saver when doing wireframes and mockups. Otherwise you spend a lot of time repositioning and realigning pasted objects.

Most desktop apps get it right. I've yet to find a web-based app that does.
