Below is a quote from Ubuntu User by Marcel Gagne: Some will argue that the desktop no longer matters or if it does, it won't for long. They will tell you that the age of mobile technology is here, that Web apps do it all, and that since Linux, in its Android persona, is on its way to ruling the mobile roost, that we should all sit back happily and congratulate ourselves on finally achieving Linux World Domination. They are wrong. Sure, mobile devices are cool. But for the foreseeable future, the desktop will continue to be the place where the real work gets done. It's the place where large scale productivity applications will continue to dominate. It's still where you're going to do your accounting, write letters, create cool graphics, edit video, and so on. Try to imagine creating a complex marketing presentation on your iPhone just for fun. See if you can find many businesses out there that have plans in the next 5 years to dump all their desktop systems in favor of everyone typing on their smartphone touchpads. Uh huh. The desktop matters as much as it ever did and there's a damn good chance that it's never going away, at least not anytime soon. Barring some truly revolutionary *ahem* paradigm shift in the way we interface with computers, of course. That revolutionary shift hasn't happened. Not yet anyhow.
Just one of many reasons I believe in the future of Dabo.
