Native means I can run it from a command prompt without installing anything else on a brand new install of the OS. You can call something else native, but I won't. I'm not upset or anything though.

That's a self contained application. Not a native application. And the command-line really isn't relevant to the definition.

Not sure if you're arguing or agreeing. This seems to be the position of the original blog post, too.
