I agree it depends somewhat on your application and delivery infrastructure. If you have a good structure in place it's probably about the same or better. Mobile apps are like this.

However, when this structure isn't in place, for example, when you have a less-than-cooperative corporate network admin team, then a web app is typically easier to deploy faster and more frequently. That's why a lot of corporate teams have moved from desktop to web, deployment and support issues. It doesn't have to be like that but it has tended to be the path of least resistance.
