How about instead appreciating the different scenario outcomes between stand-alone OS-native installable software and "software as a service", and then the variations within each - a multidimensional hue with Stallman GNU/Open Source/BSDs/Linux etc. close to each other at one bundle of ends, nowhere near the Googles, Apples, Oracles and Microsofts etc. at various others, surrounding a kind of "works on my machine(s)" conglomeration in the middle with varying levels of documentation and support. The more rugs that get pulled from under you, the more you appreciate what your abdication of control loses you and the experience gained hopefully makes your next decision a wiser one.
