I have read many articles denigrating the "thick client" (Their word for desktop computers that actually have applications installed on them.) and just never been able to buy into it. There are just too many examples of it going bad. And I speak as someone who has been forced to create systems that work that way for some applications. Unfortunately I've never gotten the budget or time to develop the kinds of systems that can bypass these problems. Unless the "cloud" based apps give me a way to work locally as well I'm not interested.

The “cloud” isn't as robust as advertised, or maybe we should say it's raining from the cloud…
