I respectful ask that people don't make posts to the Manchester Free
Software mailing list recommending proprietary software, even in the
form of 'Web Apps' running non-free non-trivial Javascript on the
client's machine, that is, they are non-free programs.  For more
information see these articles:

Regards,
Mike.
