I like to make copies of my project whenever I reach some sort of milestone so that I don't have to worry about making major changes and messing everything up.

I'm not really concerned about storage space. In addition to that, projects you make online are stored in the scratch servers with a 50mb limit, because it takes up storage space for them, while on the offline editor it's all stored on your computer. One thing to note is that most Electron apps do draw quite a lot of power: this doesn't mean that you need an insane computer to run them, it just means that the rest of your computer might be rather sluggish with the offline editor running. So really, they are pretty much exactly the same, so use whichever one is more practical, it won't make a difference. Honestly though, Scratch offline is actually based on the online editor using a framework called Electron, which, in layman's terms allows you to snapshot the website and put it in an app, making modifications as necessary. The offline editor is also a bit more private, because if you use the online editor the staff at Scratch (Scratch Team or ST) can see your project regardless of share status (for website upkeep reasons.

I would still like to see more opinions before beginning my project, though.
