TextSecure. Their protocol uses data when it can instead of SMS anyway. If they could do some sort of iMessage model where can you use it on your desktop as well as your phone that would be awesome.

This may be relevant to the discussion. For a consistent UX across multiple devices, services will need to expand. In fact, I think it's pretty weird that I. the day of the internet , so many apps and services still don't fully communicate with themselves across platforms.

Thankfully, that's changing.

Google Play Music. I mean, the website is pretty decent, but I wish there is a better way to manage music (e.g. make changes to several files I uploaded at once), and to keep some music files offline.

RadarScope. I use Gibson Ridge on my PC for radar data, but I love the RadarScope interface.

Not quite what you are looking for, but close: Ninite. Re-run installer regularly for updates, or do what I do: put the installer in your startup folder so it runs at every reboot and keeps a dozen or so programs updated.

It's just windows that lacks that, Ubuntu and Macs both have a software centre/app store

I really wish the Google apps were available on my computer. They're the main thing I miss on my Surface Pro.

Using the website for GMail or Hangouts or Calendar is fine, but they're no native apps by any means, and lack things like persistent native notifications. Plus Chrome is a huge resource hog these days, so keeping a tab open for those things actually swallows hundreds of megabytes of RAM.
