No, they care that they exist, function as expected and perform well. That's it. I want cool new apps not apps limited by a platform choice, a choice made solely for the sake of the platform. Sorry, but consumers care about the end, not the means of getting there, unless the means yields a less than satisfactory end.

If we had ubiquitous, broadband internet access we might be able to use a web model to much more effect (Surfin Safari just posted about local SQL storage) but we don't and we're a long way from it. I'll take a desktop or hybrid model over a web app any day in the current state of the state. I think Eugene nails it.
