Desktop apps typically offer many more affordances on each screen than web apps do. That's because they built to suit people who are trained to use them for hours at a time, several or many times per week - not dilettante blowins who need to be enticed to use it for ten minutes once, or once a month. I think the difference is real, and though the desktop apps, like web apps, are almost all CRUD, is justified.
