Until we get real high speed internet, 100 Mb or better, the web will not really come into it's own as a potential replacement for the desktop.
Until I can get anything off the web as fast as off of my hard drive it's not happening.
I love the web and and I love the desktop. Both have their strong and weak points.

Rather, I agree with the original poster that it's the APIs that are the weakest link. HTML and CSS are ugly APIs when you think of GUI development.
