Web-based stuff is only useful if you plan on only using it when you're online. If you want or need to work (for instance) from your laptop while in an area that has no wifi access, or the wifi and electricity went down during a storm and you still need to get something done, you can't do it. Unless it's NOT web-based.

It's the #1 reason why I don't use Google docs. LibreOffice is on my laptop, desktop, and tablet hard drives. My new tablet doesn't have a micro-ssd port which annoys me but I load things to the cloud and then download to the tablet's hard drive anything I expect to need every couple of months.
