Yes. I can see it.

 IMO scalability & PERFORMANCE are becoming issues. In my own case I been 
playing around to see if I can use TW for some larger scale projects. In 
terms of what TW can DO its absolutely ideal. In terms of PERFORMANCE, 
optimising it seems over complicated, and perhaps there is just a top limit 
what you can expect in a local browser.

Yes. AND having ONE solution that works universally IMO is absolutely 
essential for wider uptake 

17 part options before breakfast covering every platform in rich ways IS a 
real testament to TW's brilliance. 

But I simply do NOT believe that is a selling point. 

A selling point is having ONE. 

If Cloud can deliver that so much the better for wider uptake.
