I agree. An additional issue is backup. Its totally not intuitive figuring out what a browser is storing where. External backup is needed, which brings it back to the basic saving issue. A major downside is easy portability. Where I can see a clear use case is, say, a student who just needs fill in a form in the wiki that, on completion, is emailed to me. Its a short term task that may be done in more than one sitting ... needs storage ... but not for long. Chances of meltdown minimal.
