Yes, most seem to think that the web UI will be just as good or at least "good enough" for commercial use on a regular basis for daily applications....and for some, like email or mapquest, sure. But for others, like apps where you need to view multiple (modeless) windows at the same time, I doubt it ever will be as good as a rich/smart/fat client app. Especially for heads-down data entry apps.
