one thing I like about Texty is the real-time Desktop notifications that pop up (like a Grown Notification) whenever I get a new text.

I don't have to be in an app to get these notifications - as long as chrome is running, I get these notifications, whether my active window is chrome.

Does Deskdroid do this too?

A feature I really like in Texty is the Desktop Notifications.

Like Growl, but also lets you click reply and respond to the SMS as well.

It's just easy and works.

Many people are stuck in long term contracts with their carriers. When you port your #, it breaks that contract.

This is definitely not for everyone, but if you look at the comments from users, you'll see why people are using it:
