And that is exactly how the other day we had 500+ IntelliJ IDEA developers in our company that couldn't run IntelliJ. The licensing server died for a couple of hours. I personally had such reliance on a single point of failure. Stand-alone local apps without the reliance of any service on a network (LAN or WAN) is always my preference. I've had the same argument for 15+ years about having offline help too. The help stays compatible with the version of software I have running, and if the internet goes down, I can still access the help.
