What if cost is a concern? All these apps that assume free and easyinternet access are an absolute pain - I generally wouldn't touch an appof that sort.

Sure, sure. In general, SaaS's advantages tend to benefit developers and its inconveniences tend to fall on users.
I don't want to speak for Barton too much, but his email pretty clearly indicates that he's in a prototyping stage where it's important to get the app working quickly. Unless offline functionality is important for the demonstration, SaaS is the right way to go since he won't have to do any work porting LilyPond.
