I tried to venture into web dev , being a desktop coder and frankly I came back. Foremost most of the so called "web technologies" are just desktop software which includes anything that goes inside your web browser. And to be even more frank Web is against Web , a lot more than Desktop is against Web. Web is a mess, why would Apple or any coder that takes design into serious consideration be part of the web ? Its a big pile of mess that will take a long time to be shorted out. I am macos user myself, an Apple fan, but I prefer using cross platform open source tools (currently coding in Pharo) so as a developer I don't care about Mavericks or anything that locks me to a specific platform. For everyone that is ready to tolerate the shit that hogs your computer offering you no substantial improvement I will have to say go for it, I am sure web development will be waiting with open arms. Desktop is not without its kind of flaws, but lets say I am so glad I am not a pro coder so I don't have to follow nonsense overhyped crap in the name of making a living. Not having javascript or browsers forced down my throat is not a disadvantage its actually a huge advantage. Ask me again when Web reaches the state Desktop really is. If it does then I will be 100% behind it. But until then, open web ? Hell no !!!
