Definitely. Note that many great coders are rushing into web apps, by default. It's the obvious thing to do and you can get a result out a lot faster than a well-designed app that requires installation, licensing, help files, hassling with different operating system flavours.
Which is why it's great. If you're willing to put in the time to make an app really good, then you can do really well.
It is a momentum game. It can take a while to build up enough steam. Subbing to a web app is very easy. Convincing someone to fork over their cash to a download, is generally tougher. But you only need a couple of percent to do that, to do okay.
I'm kinda going to be doing both. I have a downloadable app and I'm extending it with Google App Engine to provide some online features.
