oh i find it to be the most reliable way to run tc, not always the most convenient. it hurts a lot when there is a gtk upgrade and the other extensions do not all conform to it. the second most reliable is ppr/tce because at any given time there tend to be more working tce packages than tcz, but tcz is better for any package that works properly (most!) i don't mess with any of the other modes, i think they are more likely to complicate the process of using tc. i'm glad they exist because for some people they're something i'm willing to use the word "necessity" for, but they can be trouble.

To clear up my comment, I wasn't talking about cloud computing in tc, but cloud computing in general.  If your connection to the wuhwuhweb is not completely reliable, you can find yourself in a situation where you can't access your applications and data.
 I suppose this is improving over time, and will eventually (hopefully) not be an issue.

actually i agree with you on the concept, and though it may improve, i don't think cloud computing is something people should ever rely on. stallman goes so far as to say that it's foolish to use any software that is controlled by someone else, such as google docs, but extends his argument to ajax, etc. i can't imagine he's big on cloud computing- i think though there's a fine line between cloud mode in tc and installing software with apt-get. if you run cloud mode 100 times, once a day, it's about the same as installing from apt-get on 100 machines, one per day.
