Most apps on the list are lemmy apps, meaning they don't work with kbin. Artemis is specifically designed to work with kbin, not sure if or when any of the other ones will go in that direction or become interoperable as there are some challenges with the kbin API at the moment. Having said that, a new API is in the works so things should get better with time.
I made a neat table, here u go:

What would be a feature in any of those which would make it worth to use it instead of just installing the website as a webapp? I've never used any 3rd party apps for reddit either. Or is it just about it feeling more native on that platform?
Ok thanks for #3, I'm interested in knowing about what extra features from #2 there would be.
Easily collapsible comments plus children , UI tweaks , accessibility enhancements, multi account support (with feed grouping) are some possibilities that people enjoyed on Reddit through 3P apps.
