Progressive web apps are going to be more prominent than they are right now, the native app experience did not manage to kill it off, as many in the industry thought it might. The bottle neck is the 'net, but things like service workers are a good way to deal with that issue. There will always be a desktop market but the "average user" of it won't resemble anything like that same user even a decade ago, in fact, they already don't and haven't for several years now.

Web developers? Servers?
Yeah, you know, that segment where a sh*t-ton of activity is going on with computing... and has been for the last couple of decades.
(snip more 'one true God' drivel)
Yeah, seems that classic desktop applications are dead. You write server code and app works anywhere there is browser ;)
There are some which have moved to pure cloud, such as Google's photo editing offerings, but I do not think desktop apps are going anywhere soon, though more and more have ties to cloud services.
I haven't meant desktop apps like office, photo editor and media players,..., rather apps that can be moved to browser. What can be moved to browser will be moved to browser.
