I think that most people still prefer to use desktop applications for their creative suites. Seeing the Xara community's concern over a subscription based model, I think moving the application completely to the cloud would be a hard sell. I personally use cloud software for most of my daily work outside of actually designing - Google docs, gmail, trello, dropbox, slack, etc. If the issues of speed and connectivity can be overcome, then I would be happy to use a cloud version if it would provide additional functionality or features.
