You posted about api's/web services in other threads, this is really just reiterating that point from the perspective of building desktop or mobile apps. It just another option.

While DWB might like a desktop app and find that more convenient, some don't
I gotcha now; I think that the browser environment provides the same flexibility, personally, and all devices have a browser -- not all devices have a desktop capable of running whatever executable I make. It seems like a step backwards to make a desktop app, personally.
