Google docs doesn’t work?

[pcurve]

It works fine for most use cases, but Google Docs and Sheets features pale in comparison full desktop base apps.

google docs and sheets have 99% of the features that an average home user would want to use for a word processor and a spreadsheet.

The things that docs don't have are things like templated designs, and other typesetting features that a professional document creator would want to use. It also isn't completely compatible with office document formats (some formatting and alignments are wrong). I would imagine similar with spreadsheets.

Until you get to multiplayer document editing.

Having multiple people working literally at the same time is an interesting way to work, though not something I want to repeat/rely on often.

Uhm. You probably haven't seen the crazy Google sheets that exist out there.

They are really stretching what you should be doing with a spreadsheet and they are fully collaborative/multi-user. At some point it got really old to wait fifteen minutes for the sheets to recalculate.

Not if you don't have internet access.

It has the worst commenting and track history I've seen. My company went to Google docs about 5 years ago and I have steadily walked the work product of engineers go downhill because of it.

For what reasons? I've used both and never seen such a thing. In fact I'd argue the simplicity and collaboration features of Google Docs gives it an edge.

It's far better than Office 365's though in my experience.
