Distribution is the number one reason we do webapps at all. I feel this point is sometimes lost on younger generations that have barely seen on-site deployments at all.

Sometimes you don't need the distribution magic that webapps allow, and can dispense with the huge overhead that comes with it. That's where tools like Deliphi/Windows Forms et al can make your life easier. Today it's a corner case, but it's worth keeping in mind that it's still an option.
