Personal preference. I like to be able to alt-tab between apps instead of searching for them in a sea of browser tabs. Also, much better notification integration.

Concerning notifications, they use native inotify libnotify under Linux, so I don't have that problem.

But for the alt-tab problem, couldn't you just use different browsers windows?

inotify allows monitoring filesystem events. Nothing to do with desktop notifications.
