Answer: No, we didn't. In my opinion, the desktop apps are still needed, and part of the future will be applications like Evernote, where your data are on the cloud and online version is available, but there are also native rich clients for various platform, like mobile phones, or, well, desktop. Basically, for every application where I produce my own data and use it often, I welcome having both the online version and a desktop client. Even if the desktop client is only a bit quicker, it add ups over time. For example, people are bragging how Google Docs does it for them, but I use desktop Office software, and then sync my files using the cloud with Live Mesh. Simply, the desktop client is still more convenient, and the "syncing" element can be solved outside the client. In the next year when Microsoft Office will be integrated with cloud, there will be both desktop software AND online version available. That I think is the future, and the desktop apps will be a part of that.
