At the risk of taking part in an off-topic language war, I'd say neither. My choice these days is Python code with a web UI, even for local apps. :-) Python apps run just about anywhere, Python's standard library includes a web server and web browsers are standard components... for tighter OS integration, things like wxPython or PyGTK make it relatively easy to build traditional desktop apps as well. You can even do both in the same program without breaking a sweat. The big exception would be the embedded platforms - mobile phones and the like - and there you generally don't have much choice anyway, you have to use whatever the vendor is pushing, be it Java on Android, Objective C on iOS or Qt on some of the smaller alternatives. -- Bjarni R.
