User here (self-employed computer technician); I'm not a programmer.
I have a beautiful little accounting program written for macOS called Corona. It took me two years to find it, because all of the web app-based accounting software crowded it out from visibility. My needs are simple and I don't need to share that data with any other device.
Definitely don't want my company accounting data held hostage by anyone other than me. No way to know if the hosting company is selling my data behind my back, no matter what they say in print. Besides, I only had to pay once for Corona, vs. paying constantly for cloud based SaaS. QuickBooks is another story...
For me, in this case, desktop software is much better than a web app. My laptop is older and Keep It (native app) is far better in performance and usability than Evernote (v.10x Electron app) was. Not everyone has a newer laptop.
