I also believe that both are here for a long while yet. desktop can leverage local resources in ways web can't, while web is flexible, deployment easier etc etc. IMHO, as a developer you need to have a basic grasp of at least one and master the other.

I personally see the web as something that is harmful to programming as it is very limiting but I may be mistaken. Is the web going to merge with desktop anytime soon?
The web as harmful to programming? Please expound further coz that is a very interesting observation Aki.
And i think the coalition between web and desktop may already have happened, in the name of Adobe Air<http://www.adobe.com/products/air/comparison/>. However, like Rad! said, the desktop ain't dying anytime soon.
