It’s probably partially generational. But also, I suspect most of the people who comment here are like me, sort of obsessed with these tools. So we want to own the ones we use. Additionally, we are not convinced that web-based software is safe or really reliable. What if EccoPro was web-based (forgetting the fact that when it was first introduced, the web was barely begun), it would be nothing but a distant memory. Since it was code you could put on your own computer, it still has a thriving user base 15 years after development ended.
