I think there will always be room for the real software client that runs on the OS itself.
(things like file-based actions, direct printing, direct connections to other stuff on the PC or Mac, will never happen in a browser!)
The smart-client is based on the (very old and no more developed) Swing set of Java.
As far as I know, JavaFX is the follow-up for swing applications. (if I'm wrong, I'm happy to hear
)
Ofcourse, a lot of software can be converted to html. Also a lot of software can't. And those customers are looking for alternatives, because if nothing is done for the smart-client, it will be a dead-end.. IMHO.
