Let me know what web apps are better than the desktop apps that were mentioned. They are just as popular as they have ever been.

This can't be true seeing as Google Docs is used by many companies and students.

And "better" may not be the goal of many web apps. They may be trying to measure success by "convenience" rather than being objectively "better".
