I would like to see something to back that up. HN is not "the average tech person" and even here I have the feeling there are a few people who decided to die on the anti Google hill but it's nowhere near the foregone conclusion you state. A few problems: Firefox wiped the extensions store clean less than a year ago and the long tail didn't, couldn't recover yet. If you are any sort of consultant, Google Docs invitations are par for the course. I might be missing something but Google Mail is still the only mail application with labels instead of folders. A simple and cheap Gsuite subscription gives you infinite storage.
- MisterOctober 8y agoYep, Docs is going to be a tough nut to crack. I use DDG for search, but Docs [/Sheets, etc] is hard to get away from in business. [Sorta like Office was 20 years ago, I guess]
- 300bps 8y agoMy kids use G Suite in school but I have never seen anyone in business use it. Office (and more specifically, Office 365) are very prevalent still.
- mgalgs 8y agoI know a lot of small companies (including mine) use it a lot.
- kwk1 8y agoNextcloud + Collabora is a pretty nice alternative and good enough to meet my needs.
