I have found that almost all financial software is like this.

Not just because it is complex, but a lot of it is really fragile
anyway.

I've thought a lot about trying to run such a program on my local web
server, to prevent the whole "platform switch" issue, but have yet to
find one I like.

Most WWW financial programs are for running companies, not individual
stuff.
