That might work if adcenter desktop was actually stable!
That would be of little comfort I'd imagine if you had a lot of custom stuff running through the API. At least they opened the thing up recently to add customers, that's a step in the right direction. (Although that could also be the cause of instability, they did have years to prepare for it though.)
Unfortunately it's still technically in 'beta' so it intermittently has issues. I still use it everyday, though.
