Browser-based software and desktop applications share some overlap but as the 15 years since the article have shown, that overlap isn't complete or even overly substantial (and thus desktop applications are as prevalent as ever). Just as a hammer and a nailgun are both tools that allow us to effectively build a structure, they both have their niches, benefits, and drawbacks. To pretend otherwise is simply juvenile and shortsighted.
