Short term convenience always wins, regardless of the long term cost or implications.  It's also easier on the developers, supposedly.

I use a web based accounting program, and I'm not sure how people prefer this over a local application.  The interface is slow because of latency, the GUI limited and clunky.  I'd rather stick with an older, native program than a newer web based one.
