I feel much the same way, which is why I've been learning Eclipse RCP this year. Not everything has to be a killer website (although RCP apps can be made into web apps with RAP).
There are still many applications that don't quite fit into the "web 2.0" mold. For example, think of applications that deal with data users want to keep private, or share only on their own terms, not through a trusted third party, however benevolent they claim to be.
Instead of trying to convince users they need to trust their data to your web app, bring the application to them!
Best description yet of "Web 2.0"!
