Ask HN: Anyone making a living off of desktop applications?

I have this side project that has been stuck for quite some time, because I can't seem to make up my mind if I should go with a desktop or a web application. Is any single developer or small team making a living of desktop apps, and are they still relevant?

My side project is a kind-of productivity application, and my target users are not really technical people and will probably have one computer, but as I'm a "lonely" developer (working alone) I have to think about the future, and so I have to try to make the right choice on this..

It would be great to hear both successful and unsuccessful experiences made by single or small teams of developers..
