And if it was purely peer-to-peer people would complain that it doesn't work in their particular use case. Personally, it's rather nice sometimes to 'fire and forget' a file transfer with a tool like this. All I need to worry about is if I successfully uploaded the file. I don't need to worry about their internet connection, keeping some daemon running on my side, keeping power on my side, remembering to delete that file that I only kept around so somebody could download it from my computer, etc.

The point is, options are good. Most of us subscribe to the Unix philosophy of "Write programs that do one thing and do it well" so why are so many advocating for a pancea solution that does everything for every use case?
