What is it that a writer gets from this that they don’t get from Google docs? Genuine question.

  Have you ever written anything longer than about a couple dozen pages in Google Docs? Its performance is straight-up atrocious. Granted, the Docs team recently started rolling out a new canvas-based version of the app that should be faster and more efficient, but honestly I'm not really holding my breath.

    Yeah I have experienced the crankiness - just wondered if there are other things too?

      If you're speaking of writing a novel, that alone is a complete dealbreaker all by itself. By ~40 pages in, it already takes multiple seconds for letters to appear when you type them. I don't even want to imagine writing a 300+ page book in there.
