I haven't once thought, "Gee, I really wish I could use Microsoft Word". I have thought, "there's a capability I wish I had in Docs" a few times.
I did most of my doc writing in LyX before Google, though.
- enneff 7y agoI imagine most people who want MS Office over Google Docs probably want it for Excel, which IIUC as several powerful features not present in Google's Sheets.
- philliphaydon 7y agoThe only thing Google Docs has over MS is the collaboration. Word in the browser is a billion times better for formatting than Google Docs. I loath using google docs. But when it comes to Collab, Google docs wins hands down.
- shbooms 7y ago> The only thing Google Docs has over MS is the collaboration. As someone who has had to build relatively complex tools in both Sheets and Excel, I would have to say Sheets has done a much more impressive job with their builtin formulas/functions than Excel.
- philliphaydon 7y agoI can't comment on that because I rarely use Sheets or Excel. I think my usage of Sheets is `=SUM...` :D
- enneff 7y agoThen I'm not sure why you're replying to my comment about Excel. :-)
- philliphaydon 7y agoBecause even between Excel / Sheets, formatting is still much easier in Excel. But formulas I cannot comment on as I just don't use that.

- wwn_se 7y agoAlso JS vs VB, im not a big fan of JS but only a madman prefers VB. The JS in Sheets also run in the cloud. Really nice for scheduled things or things that talk to an api or similar. But being able to run stuff locally is nice to.
- kerng 7y agoEntire GSuites is a productivity and doc formatting disaster. From docs, sheets to mail all very inconsistent and formatting of content and information is terrible compared to Office. Glad I'm back at a company that uses O365.
