Regardless of whether localstorage is the right tool I think people felt/feel no choice but to advocate it based on one all-important issue (saving grace?) "Browser Support". It would be nice to educate people and explain to them, don't try to use localstorage for any serious stuff, no querying, slow performance, etc. But what would you answer when they ask what's an alternative that I can use today? Based on http://caniuse.com/indexeddb it's not looking too good. I would suggest we continue to advocate its use, and at the same time add in a "but.. in the really near future" you should be switching. Is it great, no; But good enough for many use cases- I think so.
