If you missed any of the previous parts of the series or want go back here is the jump list: To be honest I like the idea that I don't have to install the correct version client as I work on so many different customers systems, but I do find the web client slow to respond (like View).

Only the new features in vSphere 5.1 and 5.5 can be managed via the vSphere Web Client and the old vSphere Client will disappear in future releases (possibly with vSphere 6!). However now the tables have turned and with the release of vSphere 5.5 VMware are now pushing the vSphere Web Client as the client to manage vCenter Server. VSphere 5.0 saw the vSphere Web Client make it's entry but with limited functionality compared to the installed vSphere Client. VSphere 5.5 - Part 5 - vSphere Web Client Install
