You forgot:

+ web applications almost always have a shitty, slow, ad-infested, dumbed-down interface with bare-bones features

+ you're at the mercy of whatever company owns and runs the servers that the application is served from, if they decide to end the service or change it in a way you don't like tough luck for you

+ your privacy and control over your own data are usually forfeited

+ your data is usually trapped on the servers or difficult to extract and use independently of the web service itself
