Over the years, I've developed a highly optimised system on my own computer*, and so using someone else's online tool would mean I would no longer have access to any of it. Also, online CAT tools are usually not that great.

* = my own CAT tool (with its termbases, translation memories, corpora, non-translatables lists, segmentation rules, custom spelling lists, etc.), various local dictionary programs, accessible via shortcuts, a plethora of AutoHotkey scripts for automating stuff on my computer, Dragon NaturallySpeaking + KnowBrainer voice command software, etc. etc. etc.
