Ignoring the fact that a lot of software/hardware with cloud components is about lock-in, lately I've been on a quest to replace as many cloud components as I can with sandstorm.io apps. Some things just work better with centralized cloud-based storage, but there's no reason users shouldn't be in control of that data. Social networks are the big exception. People are working on decentralized social networks, but it's a much harder problem. Many cloud services are just data storage, though.
