This is the reason of all, there are millions of reasons for usage of desktop apps and at same time, browser apps, it is a "great debate" for the taste of the customers. On such case, "less is more" Desktop apps took a long road to arrive where it is, "native apps" is the most appropriated name, and you also have problems with Browser APPS, the concept of standards on Browser never reach a solution by the economical interests on the plate. Also it is marketing a lot marketing and options like, where your code(blog) resides, what is the rush of the report, architectural considerations. If you will follow the REST principal not that defined among WEB prayers but mainly such concepts engineered among dozens of years and well described on Roy Thomas Fielding PHD thesis, infect need to finish to read, was interrupted a year ago by some problems on my machine and life.
Then you have the objective of the product, how, why and how much and when. By the end, resides to reports being placed as extension mechanisms of a giant information system. But it is all regards options, I particularly found blogger extremely useful for fast writing, it is also used as a platform website giving domains depend on how will be masquerade your intentions. There is always an objective for profit somehow, prestigious, money, marketing, fun, game. Now the question resides "why change", once threatened, is threatened, who owns the blogger platform is Brin, the 4 eyes and the Page, if they send a letter asking "stop write" I command you, "I will ask why", give my 20(if I am not wrong), then i pick my pages and move my things to appspot.
But it is always some sort of "larceny", not that difficult to understand, also program with social interaction which means "stay alert" because they can drop some nice things "or reports", is important, but there are just platforms, with defects since the hardware, "the cure" is continue working because "there are no cure without work". Infect the cure is hard, very hard.
