Absolutely, and there's never one true solution. Over the past decade, I've moved multiple times from working remotely (thin client) to locally and back again.

Absolutely, and there's never one true solution. Over the past decade, I've moved multiple times from working remotely (thin client) to locally and back again. It's only problematic if people think everyone now has to follow one model. As long as you accept that some work profiles/companies/industries work better with remote or local, we can all profit from increased choice. I believe local development will never go away, as well as thin clients will never go away. You just need to find what works best for your situation.
