>> I know this is the Cocoa devs list... but why not make a website?

complications, you would be in total control of your stack, etc.

QuickBooks has gone that route.  They still grudgingly sell desktop apps,
but really push people towards their cloud version.  Besides all the
benefits you mention, it's a steady monthly income.  Hence why Microsoft
and Adobe are also going that route.  Apple too.

But, we're a small company, and it would involve hosting other people's
vital data.  Risk of outages, security breaches, compliance and privacy
issues. It would require much more skill to maintain. In a way we are
gambling on a huge breach happening to Intuit some day. Then suddenly we
look really, really good.
