Seen in a comment: "Web apps have their place, desktop apps have their place. Are you going to build Photoshop on the web? Hell no."
Photoshop is totally going to become a web app. Give it time.

The essay of that comment, "Web applications suck and they’re not worth creating" is a very well written piece on not understanding what end users want. The fundamental point - that doing what would be a college project on desktop takes much smarter and far longer in the browser - is well made. But it's too late, the users have spoken and they want apps built on arguably one of the worst application platforms in computing history - the browser. I was talking to a colleague in work about this the other day - possibly as a segue to the "grails v django v rails indecision conversation"; that or the "crap, which ajax framework will we use - let's get it down to 3 for now" one - I'm not sure. What I said was that no engineer in their right mind would actually choose a web browser as the application platform for a planet. The DOM? XHR? Are you kidding? No, the users chose it. Even on phones, webapps are inevitable, converging for the time being on webkit.

Yes, the future of apps is on the web, but is it on the browser? Given the 90% penetration of things such as Flash, surely a new platform (Flex, Silverlight, or whatever the OSS world can do) can solve the problem.
Having just cranked out a Swing app renews my appreciation for the DOM. "Just put a label approximately to the left of this text box"... It's so easy to create and manipulate UIs satisfying the 95% case: that's what users have noticed.
