My experience has been that it always ends up in Google Docs. Collaboration in Docs is just so stupidly easy compared to emailing spreadsheets around. And yeah I've been through several cycles of this:
start tracking in google docs, we'll get a system eventually.
-> OK we have bought a new PM system, let's start using it.
-> Everyone please start using the new system. Move your google docs there today.
-> I ... why is this still in Google Docs?
-> Ok we've paid a bunch more money to get all of the requested features in our new system. Please please please start using it
-> Sigh. Just share me on the Google Doc.

It's useful to have a tool that you can fall back on that gives you a basic representation of the data that you can manipulate with simple tools. For most people that will be a spreadsheet. You can also do it with *nix tools but they're really unapproachable for the uninitiated.
