Is it accepted to answer questions with non web-based solutions?

I know this site is about webapps, but for some questions, I have desktop app suggestions that the asker might use. Is it acceptable to respond with these answers, or should I make it a comment on the question instead?

Answer 1

I think comment would be better, because desktop apps usually not running on all platforms and if somebody is looking for an answer in webapps, it should be a webapp.
