I for one would like to see more, better local software rather than web-everything. My laptop is more than capable of running photoshop locally, and I don't see the benefit of running a slower, high-latency version which is vulnerable to network conditions. It seems like that does much more for Adobe, their cloud provider, and my ISP than it does for me.

That's not to say there shouldn't be online options for things, but it seems inevitable that as those options become increasingly viable, software vendors will aggressively push consumers toward them so they can have an excuse to have a recurring revenue model.
