it is true that the mostly commercial future of the web is dependent on web services and functional applications online, but that doesn't leave designers out in the cold. there will always be a need for well thought out aesthetic UI's.
but, i do think designers on the web need to concentrate paying more attention to practical and usable design...rather than useless fluff.
it is also noteworthy to mention it's not just the web that is going toward an "online application" style platform...windows is developing longhorn to function like a web service run locally.
instead of using classical file systems it is utilizing a sql style relational database for the OS at the kernel level.
more and more desktop applications will move either onto the web or utilize technologies like xml. look at the new ms office release coming up.
