A thin client environment can mean a low cost method of accessing your data from anywhere, but it does depend tremendously on continuous availability of the back end systems that hold your data and run the applications. The problem is when those back end systems seize up( see Amazon S3 problems), you lose all access to your application and your data.

As for me, I'd rather keep my critical data and application systems local(e.g. my financial systems), and just use the web to encrypt and back up that data.
