I think so. For productive office jobs, a desktop is still a must have. Audits, quality assurance, production planning, sales planning, reclamations, presentations, any form of computer aided engineering, accounting... just random examples on top of my head. Sure, there could theoretically be a a webapp that can do all this, but there isn't. A penalty is that your QA SaaS service needs to interface employee information and maybe access article information living inside your ERP. Problems start to occur here. Apps on the web or phone are good for any workflow where your input is basically "yes/no". I think html can be a good compromise for UIs, but that isn't enough to replace desktop software. I don't see many webapps in any production critical process, they only pop up for some administrative tasks and even that is limited. Maybe you are an IT consultant with everything in the cloud. Or maybe you deliver food or offer transport and orders are managed in an online service. That works, but widespread applications are limited.
