#2One day the pendulum will swing back in the other direction. Until then, those of us who disagree with putting absolutely everything into the cloud will just have to sit back and bide our time.

I doubt that day will ever come without a significant number of potential customers stubbornly opting to go it alone with DIY on-prem alternatives (or at least somewhat SaaS-less - e.g. turnkey-on-IaaS or similar) in the interim. Though I guess that "stubborness" might become more likely as more & more stagnation & inflexibility of cloud SaaS reveals itself to customers over the coming years.
My company's recently been pushed off JIRA on-prem to their cloud offering & the migration has already been an absolute travesty. Any gaps there might have been in the near-universal hatred of JIRA have been thoroughly wiped out by now.

37signals is certainly looking in the other direction: https://once.com/ .. though more at the smaller end of the market, not enterprise apps.

I'd agree, lock-in and subscriptions are too tasty a target to give up voluntarily

#6It’s a shame that the options for orgs that don’t want Internet dependencies dwindle by the day. The poorly connected and security conscious get left behind again.

But they have also announced that Basecamp will always be a subscription product, which doesn’t fit well with their once.com story.

Or, you know, a SaaS cloud company could go belly-up and lose a ton of customer data with absolutely no backup or other compensation plan. "Suing the corpse" only works if the corpse hasn't already been looted. If that happens five or six times, it might swing the public perception.

#10Last year I was second guessing myself if migration to Gitlab EE from Jira, Bitbucket and Jenkins would be worth it, as it was a massive shift for my org. Maybe purchasing a DC version of Atlassian products would be a better alternative, but after short look into invoices and licensing it was decided to go forward with Gitlab. Still not a big fan of how stiff Yaml pipelines feel in Gitlab CI and that tickets for what seems like a simple feature [1] hang around for years, but it is nice. Developers like it, and i am happy that they are happy.
