>>With web apps there are issues such as vendor lock-in of your data

You can use self-hosted web apps or a vendor that allows export of data. You can use a vendor that allows loading/saving data locally.

>>Security issues because your data is now on the internet instead of on a local PC.

The same is true for most local apps. How do you know they are not leaking your data?

>>Vendor updating to a new non functional version of their web app while you liked the old one.

True for local apps as well

>>You are just trading one set of limitations for another and also removing your ability to address issues by yourself.

There are always limitations, but web apps have less, which is why they are winning.

Updating a local app is under your own control.

While self hosting webapps certainly is possible, this is not an option for the average user.

With a local app you can make it certain that it isn't leaking by not connecting it to the internet?

I guess we will have to agree to disagree on this as you are clearly looking at this from a different angle as I do.
