I think some people who grew up with web apps didn't know local native apps preceded them.

I really loved the time when I could install shareware on my PC and I was sure that it would just keep working because nothing would update it behind my back; and that I didn't have to pay a monthly subscription fee to keep using it; and of course also that it would not send my data back to the software vendor.

The internet is great for many things, but also has huge downsides.

Well, thanks to evergreen and auto updating systems, there's no guarantee that X app will be the same today and tomorrow.

It's probably what I hate most about Android- apps shouldn't need an update as often as they do.

		It is really like some vendor breaking into your house and changing your furniture because "it looks better now". Should be illegal.
