[Google: We believe the web platform is a much simpler way, where the machines are essentially stateless, more cache-like, but can still be performant. And yet much easier and simpler for individuals to use.] My experience is, that for certain tasks, native client application is still much more convenient. Evernote is a classic example - although online version of this note-taking software is available, I still enter a note quicker in native app, which then synchronize the data on the cloud. It's the same with photo editor, word processor, etc. So, what is really needed are good native applications, which are able to synchronize their data with the cloud. But maybe Google will convince me that web-only platform is better, we will see...
