Offline use is a good point. I wouldn’t want to try and use google sheets in some kind of sandboxed scenario.
If google would release a local server I could run of google apps I’d love it. But any desktop version of the same I wouldn’t trust. I’d still want to access them via browser.
Not because of bad actors but just because of bugs in deployment of two different architectures for the same app.
The issue I have with online spreadsheet is that browsers are generally not allowed to access the local filesystem through scripts. For good reasons no doubt, but when that’s what I need to do, then it just won’t work.
MS Office 365 is also fully functional in a browser these days.
Personally I prefer the offline version for various reasons.
