I think it really depends on the scenario:

# Scenario 1 You are using one device where all your apps are installed or you have permission to install anything you want. You will find this in smaller companies with BYOD policy.

# Scenario 2 You are using a lot of different devices and/or regularly have to work with a new device that is only setup with the basic applications. It is not possible or allowed to just install any app. You will find this in enterprise businesses with a lot of policies about devices and workflows.

For #1 a solid desktop app is probably preferable but for #2 (prerequisite is a stable and fast internet connection) you can start working immediately when all necessary apps and data is available online.

Also there could be web apps that benefit from a spreadsheet which is more than just a basic grid view.
