The web based stuff will win in the end, but its going to take a long
time.  Consider the situation with phones: if you have a choice Java
applet vs. javascript web page, you're gonna choose the applet.
Javascript + DOM remains so awful to work with its pretty much
impossible in practice to create anything anywhere near as usable as a
desktop app for complex apps.
