I don't disregard reality at all. I just try to at least make an effort to not confuse blind herd instinct with cognitive intelligence, not to mention technical competence. > Just about all software people use for everyday tasks anymore is > targeted for the web, including the email client I'm typing this in. "Web mailers" are a particularly illustrative example why "web apps" are ridiculous garbage. Just like "web forums" or "Google Apps". If I had to use those, I would cease to use computers at all. And I have started to use email and usenet with PINE on a Unix text console. > The vast majority of enterprise SaaS apps are web deployed and so so > are intranet applications.

Certainly not. Not to mention the issue of end-user productivity. Not to mention the deployment mess, both server- *and* client-side, with "web apps". Etc. and so on...
