Weirdly, I feel the opposite. Google Docs still feels clunky and second best, because the software is still second-fiddle to the browser. Two menu bars, some shortcuts not working (the clipboard permission snafu for example) and the strange heirarchy of cloud storage when I typically want to save locally.
- crazygringo 6y agoOf course, if you want to save locally. But I just can't imagine going back to a world where I can't pull up any doc on my phone, or on my laptop despite last having worked on it on my desktop. Or have my storage be limited by the (comparatively puny) size of my laptop's SSD. Putting up with two menu bars is a small price to pay for that, in my world. :) And I've never run into any clipboard permissions problem in Docs, and I've always used Cmd+X/C/V.
