While these all seem like valid arguments, I’m still going to build desktop apps, and I’ve managed to find a way to combine my web building skills with app building in something called Titanium. It’s like an open source alternative to Adobe AIR with support for ruby, python, etc.

So, I’ve found the best of both worlds — web apps meet desktop apps meets mobile apps…
