In my opinion, they would be RAW API applications. I'm personally not a big fan of the netconn API as I think the zero-copy feature being the only difference to the socket API is not enough advantage to maintain an own API for it. As such, I wouldn't want to maintain netconn apps.
 
OT: I think, that the biggest limitation of socket API is not zero-copy but lwip_select() implementation. It is possible to wait events only from sockets. In full blown OS, you can wait also on other sources - timers, external events. In netconn API, it is easy to implement this, but in socket API?
