Office 365 is so slow and laggy.

I personally think all productivity software has gone to crap the last 10 years because everything is talking to a server or a cloud or whatever all the time. You can perceive the little microsecond delays.

Yep. I will use local software until it is absolutely impossible to do so any longer.

There is no getting around the speed of light. This will make anything that must talk to some distant “cloud” server somewhere inevitably far slower than local software. It’s one of the reasons I can’t stand webmail. Combine that with the fact that I have a high flicker rate for a human, and using cloud- or web-based anything is just agonizing for me.

If I am forced to, I will pay someone to write software that can be used locally as using anything else is just untenable.
