We've been hearing that for 20 years; previously it was Web apps that would render the PC (aka desktop) irrelevant.

There is a huge and profitable class of applications that require the features of a PC. The Internet and wireless LAN/WAN and ARM architecture haven't changed that.

I feel quite positive that the web will be de facto platform (more than desktop or mobile) for writing apps. Things like WebGL, FRP, ChromeOS will only make that all more pleasant to write and use apps causing a (already happening) gradual shift in platform.
