Online Editor or Traditional?

I've always been comfortable enough using the offline editor and therefore have never attempted to use or create my own online editor. So I too am curious as to why the trend of online editing is increasing, or is it just that.... a trendier way of doing something?

Main advantage I can think of is the possibility the Editor may not work with Linux + Mac.

Mainly because the offline editor(and all tools, for that matter) haven't been updated in years. Stefan keeps saying "they'll be replaced by online tools!" but they never came.

I personally find it handy to be able to browse and save levels offline in the event of not having internet access or whatever, it's still a good option to have whereas if the ability to download the offline editor was removed that creates a limitation.
