Interesting points made here. I think the main thing is if users are discerning they will choose apps with open formats (odf anyone). Unfortunately many users aren't discerning.
As far as friend or foe, if the SaaS companies contibute code (and I believe Google and Amazon do contribute code but correct me if I'm wrong), then they are still friends.
just my 2 cents anyway.
