These are server apps. This guy is talking about end user apps more.

Example: I prefer to run Google Earth desktop instead of Earth in a browser. It's faster, has more features and doesn't suck up as much memory.

I use Notepad++ instead of google docs for most note taking.

I use Kusto Explorer desktop instead of Azure Data Explorer.

Outlook desktop instead of OWA.
