The main reason for developing an application into a web approach is that it is more accessible than if you would suppose to compare it to a desktop application, but when doing it so you should be well informed of what to use depending on your needs.
Web-applications are good only if you are just going to develop applications that doesn't pass extremely confidential data, due for the reason that web-applications are deployed online they are prone to hackers than if you would compare it to a desktop application, desktop application could reduce security risk than on a web-application though there are already security measures to make website secured, but over the duration of time people will discover ways of destructing this security measures and I do believe that most of use knew about that most especially those hardcore hackers existing over there. Desktop application do also have security flaws but so very minimal.
But if somebody is really eager to take web-application for providing solutions then it would be better if he is well informed of the risk it may take also the same thing for people developing desktop applications.
