Sure, there's a place but it's been my experience that native apps have very complicated frameworks using complicated (and unsafe) languages. Qt and GTK both use C++ with other languages as am afterthought.

Web apps have an incredibly flat learning curve with an equivalent entry barrier. If the same were made for native apps, they'd be more popular.
