In my opinion a standard installation of GetSimple should definitely NOT have any external dependencies.
I need to be able to work with my (local) installation (e.g. developing plugins) anywhere, anytime, without internet access (e.g. in the garden, etc.).
I don't think an administration interface should have any dependency on an external resource not under the administrator's control, as this opens up additional security holes.
As far as I know the advantage of loading from googleapis is for web users not having to download jquery etc. from various different sources - so in the frontend (themes) it is ok (and it's easy to change by the admin).
