G-Suite
Google Slides makes me want to cry every time I have to use it. Google Docs isn't much better. They're poor web versions of office software from the 90s.
Google drive is a disaster of product. Uploading and finding files are both incredibly painful.
Google sheets is fine for simple stuff, and I get why people use it, but there's far better alternatives. For anything moderately complex it's a dog.
I can't stand the gmail interface, but I can at least see why some people prefer it. It's the one part of the suite that isn't far inferior to its competitors.
- techslave 6y agoyou are mistakenly judging g suite on the individual product requirements. eg how a spreadsheet should function. that’s not what g suite is. all features are MVP and the main selling point is being collaborative.
- podgib 6y agoFair. I also find the collaboration tools clunky and annoying to use. When judging it as a whole, I find it worse than judging individual components. For example, sheets on its own is a decent tool; sheets as part of the suite is dragged dow by the rest.
- techslave 6y agoclunky and annoying compared to what? they are the best i’ve seen and quite good. if there’s something better please share. i would love to know about it. comments in spreadsheets stink but everything else is pretty great. ok one more flaw. you can’t unassigned a task from yourself. you can only reassign to someone else or mark it done (which clears the comment thread).
