Not only does SaaS hold our data hostage, not only does it allow companies to revoke access to software at any time, we are all subject to the instability of frequent software updates, and changing whims of the software requirements.
Nothing about SaaS is convenient. When I install dumb software on my computer, I do it once and forget about it: it doesn't need security because it isn't connected to the internet, I can use a version I am happy with in perpetuity, and I don't have to worry about where my data is. Now that is convenient!
SaaS is a giant scam and software users have all been conned.
I would never save my document in the cloud, and would never trust microsoft to house it. They've had 2 control panels for a decade, or longer? How's that Zune doing. Here, let me look it up on my Windows Phone.
LibreOffice?
Proton Docs?
Just saying.
Ah, the joys of using "standard" software.
