Currently I'm running Audacity, Sococo (network conferencing tool; soon to be a web app), NetMon, Outlook, WeatherEye and a few services. Also have 3 browser tabs open. So from here it looks like native apps are winning. Especially since I despise two of the three web apps (TeamCity, Jira) for being laggy, buggy and very slow.

OK, but are you a mainstream consumer? No, you're a developer and have specific needs that are solved better with native desktop software.

True, but ALL the web apps I use are laggy, slow and annoying. Its unlikely that developers have the only bad web apps.
