Personally I don't want my invoice and client info on someone else's server. How am I going to defend that choice when someone hacks in to your server and my clients info is stolen? I also do not want to be dependent on a web connection to be able to invoice. But maybe that's just me. I see how it's cheaper and easier for you as a developer and for some applications I might think it would be an OK deal but not with my financial info. And what happens when you guys decide to do something else? I have a few boxes of software from companies that promised universal un locks if they went out of business. Fact is that just doesn't happen. If you go under all my info goes with you. And of course there is the issue of after you go under who is making sure all the server drives are securely erased so that my info doesn't go with them?
This is not attack on the software, which may be great, but the whole concept scares the bejesus out of me.
