You live in a bubble. Most apps I use at work are installed on the machine.

That's very clearly not what we're talking about here. I wouldn't be surprised if (for personal use, not work) the "bubble" is a more accurate descriptor for those who _do_ need desktop software. The only people I know who use anything on the desktop beyond their browser are software engineers, PC gamers, and people who use niche software, all with a quite-above-average level of computer-savviness.

Walk through an office building, Work+Excel are still the software of the day in most businesses.

Aaaand that makes it the third time that it's been clarified that this conversation is about personal usage, not office work. Jesus dude...

I'll take your downvote (on this and my earlier comment, in the ten minutes since I've posted this) and lack of a response as an admission of your error. It would be nice if you could express that in a less juvenile way though...

There was a third option until Adobe dropped support for AIR on Linux. YNAB has since been encouraging customers to use Wine.

I think the point being made is that these days this would normally be provided as a SAAS product, rather than as an actual install to your machine.
