Because many users including my self find it very unconfortable to
use web applications.

Maybe it has to do with nested popup menues (I mean the lack of it).
I once read that users liked it that much because it allows the to
have a sight of what they were doing. The same effect was gained by
the introduction of the blackboard to the schools, allowing students
to "keep an eye on the background" as the teacher introduces new
subjects.

By "real", I also mean "faster than web-based ones".
