I am old fashioned but I prefer the software to be proper Windows software. It should also conform to the actual theme/ui setting in Windows and not have its own (of course best is to choose, that's what I like with C2, so many to choose between.).
Ok, I despise software that go its own way and put a super dark UI for me, nooo I do not want it, I want it to look like the rest of Windows just like I have set it up! Worst are the ones with custom "cool" ui with everything picture based+ custom buttons where you have to re-learn how to cycle. But it seems to be a thing of the past - mostly. THANK GOODNESS. But some are stubborn about it, this is a software I hate to use but have to use as it is the only interface to the cutter:

Ok now that was cosmetic part.
Reason of why I do not like web software: It won't conform to standards. I feel also uneasy about working in a browser with its overhead but also for my own ADHD-ness and inability to multitask (= I can't have anything distracting for me... then concentration go its way)
I want to have a software I know how to do straight away with my super short attention span.
I guess if the "software" was without the browser visible parts it would be slightly better, but still have that "its own ui" thing which is a minus for me. Plus how would short keys work? Ctrl+S will it save the project or bring up browser's save html thing? Apparently I am not too deep into this thing, of course of course.
long loading time = nope, downloding crap every time I use = NOPE.
My humble opinion. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">
