Yes. And it's easy to see why. Doing things client-side is great in theory,
but it's only possible if either

(a) your browser vendor ships the necessary client-side software, in which
case the world can move forwards only as fast as the slowest of the browser
vendors, or

(b) users are prepared to download and install software supplied by their
content providers, which opens up all sorts of manageability and security
issues and rather destroys most the benefits of having a thin client in the
first place.
