Is Intuit aware of how impractical QuickBooks Online has become?

Forms load slowly, pages frequently lag or crash, and closing the books now takes significantly longer. This inefficiency wastes time and money, as more resources are needed to update the books. What steps is Intuit taking to address these issues and will there be any major change in the product? Is QBO Advance faster?

I'm reaching a point where some of my clients may need to switch back to QuickBooks Desktop or explore alternative solutions. However, I've also heard that Intuit plans to discontinue the desktop version shortly. Can you confirm this?
