I don't care, I only use web based applications in the few cases I am forced to do so.

For me, the control over my data, operating system integration, taking advantage of my hardware will win every day over dumb web applications.

You're probably in the minority. My usage of desktop software has been dropping dramatically over the years. I'm basically left with 5 or 6 apps, including a browser, a file picker, a code editor, and a command prompt. The more powerful the web/internet apps become the more the desktop gets sidelined, and any reason to Ubuntu over any other desktop becomes a pretty moot point.

I'm used to it, Linux was also a minority for many years.
