Definitely, for apps where you can invest the money. Desktop development is really expensive, even more so if you want to support more than one operating system. This means either apps with general mass appeal, or niche apps in specialized markets, but not small markets either. Taking a quick look at my computer right now, I have a bunch of specialized apps that are considered "expensive" by many, and there is NO WAY I would want to use them as web apps: Ulysses, Camtasia, 2Do, Bear, Fantastical. The other side of that coin, however, is that people do not appreciate how expensive desktop development is. For my SaaS, I would love to offer desktop apps (as in, not Electron apps), but the cost is prohibitive and this will likely never happen.
