It's all relative. At any moment in time there are going to be "native," fat client, devices that are running more powerful applications than that can be run on a thin client, "web," model. There is always going to be a transition to move those applications to a thin model, for scaleability reasons, and when that happens there is going to be some new software that requires the fat client model again.

Either way, it's about figuring out which model works for the problem you're trying to solve. If you advocate for one, you're missing opportunities in the other.
