One thing I'm still not comfortable with regarding web apps is that if your internet service goes down, you'll be unable to access/run those programs.  I still like to have locally-installed software.  Otherwise, if software is all web-based (or otherwise runs from an internet server), we wouldn't need much more than dumb terminals at home (whereas typically it's a good thing to have your own storage and processing power at home)..  In some ways, it seems like computing is coming full-circle.
