In terms of "Apps" that is comparable to a quality web app, I think Chrome Store is pretty dense. If you look at the photo apps here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/collection/pictu...

It is pretty much a replica of the top search results of "online photo editor" or "web photo editor". It is as competitive as web but I think the layout/review/star information in the store is still more useful than looking at a linear table returned by search.

It seems like Play Store is going to replace the Chrome Web Store. Speaking as app developer, the only advantage for searching for apps on Chrome Store is that most apps are optimized for a laptop/chrome book with a mouse and keyboard, and the apps work better for desktops.
