Actually, depending on the browser these days, it might not even matter.

I know that for myself, I can work on any computer in the house or my 
cell phone and my local data will be the same on all of them. But then, 
I use Google Chrome and an Android phone - so everything automatically 
synchs between devices.

Though to be completely honest, the real reason I write code using local 
data for many situations is because it's fun. :-)  When doing anything 
professionally, I always have to weight the options and choose the best 
option for the client.   IE doing something that will take twice as long 
to code "because it's fun" is the wrong decision - it has to have 
business value.  Doing something that will take the same amount of time 
to code "because it's fun" is the right decision because if I'm having 
fun programming, I'm more effecient.
