I don't see desktop applications as an enemy, but rather as a means 
to fulfill single user specific need. If one wants everyone to "work" 
together then web applications are certainly a solution. However, 
both solutions have trade-offs and mutually exclusive 
advantages/disadvantages.

I hope php programmers will be busy for many years, but many of the 
languages that I sunk my teeth into have passed on to the big null in 
the sky.
