I agree that it's gone from one extreme to the other and this isn't really healthy, hence our work on Conveyor, trying to find a nice middle ground for non-web apps.

I think users do appreciate fast iteration. If they report a bug in the morning and it's fixed by the afternoon, that feels very different to reporting a bug and being told it'll get fixed in the next version which ships in 2 months. Even very basic and subtle differences between web and non-web apps matter here, for example, the lack of version numbers, the precise control over caching policy, the refresh button all make big differences to the overall feel of things.
