While I don't doubt that there are many applications that are well-suited for web apps and that there are a number of good reasons for making some apps web-based, why do you think web programming is /not/ GUI programming? If you just need a few text boxes and buttons in a table-like layout, both are easy. If you need fancier functionality, both get a bit more complicated. There isn't much of a difference in terms of designing the GUI, IMO. (Actually, complex GUI functionality is probably easier to design to run well in a local application. You don't have to split up the GUI functionality between server-side and client-side and you don't have to deal with the subtle but sometimes significant differences between browsers.)
