I'm not convinced yet that it is flawed. If you are distributing a medium complexity application then you get several choices including. - Web app. Online only but cross platform and low pain to 'install'. - Binary. Hard work to make multi platform and who the heck trusts a binary from Bob's Software Shack (no spy ware guaranteed!) - Offline capable web app. Low barrier to adoption (small download from a known and reputable brand) plus you get cross platform capability for free. So assuming that your product really needs to go off line to magnify it's utility (e.g. a mail client or a to do list) and you can work out a slick way to sync data from multiple clients to the server it seems like a good idea to me.
