They suck for two reasons: primarily now I need an account for everything I use with separate billing charges. It becomes annoying to manage. The other reason the egregious costs these companies charge. For a compiled version of software back in the day, I could get something that worked for $30-$100 and it would last years if not a decade. Now, some of these places are charging like $3-$20/month! Software value has not increased that much. If I gotta start paying for TODO apps and calendar managers, I'm just gonna move to Org Mode. The majority of what software provides is a nice gui environment to manage text. No clue how this crap can be worth as much as it is aside from supporting multiple platforms and enabling web based usage.

- MeinBlutIstBlau 5y agoI think it's because software has finally reached a point where everybody is adequate at using computers that new problems have developed compared to the ones that existed 10-20 years ago. So now the people who have no idea how to use a computer (or are willing to learn) they just pay for a SaaS.
