How long have you been doing web development? These things are cyclical. Back when Flash was FutureSplash, HTML seemed decrepit until eventually it became clear that HTML5 and JavaScript would take over the space. Then just as HTML5 was finished hiding Flash's body, native mobile apps (replete with "web views") started pushing the pendulum in the other direction. Whether we'll see the "mobilization" of the desktop OS or the "webification" of the apps still remains to be seen. Either way, "the cloud" is here to stay.
