The desktop stands for independence and the ability to do what you want without being subject to the whims and fancies of the "cloud providers".
We at CodeLathe have the same concerns with the loss of ownership, lack of control and privacy with the advent of web applications. That is why we are taking a slightly different approach with Tonido.
Tonido ( http://www.tonido.com/ ) brings the ability to run personal web applications on your desktop, which you can use wherever you are, but at the same time you are not giving up neither privacy nor control over your data. Not only is Tonido a light-weight application server which runs on all OSes, it also is an extensible platform allowing developers to develop new applications on top.
Imagine the ability to have your own personal web applications running on your desktop provided by you and not by third-parties.
It is an uphill battle to convince the general populace on the evils associated with completely migrating to the web, but one that must be fought before it is too late.
