I get frustrated with Google Docs because there's no good way to organize your documents into folders. Technically, there's a way to do it but Google makes it a pain in the ass and purposely hides it from you. Instead, they show a gigantic list of your most recent documents. For me, that's frustrating but I guess if you grew up with that being the default, that's just what you're used to. Like smartphones, technically the folder structure is there but it's hidden away and difficult to access, so almost no one uses it. I guess the latest generation have really just used desktops and laptops as portals to the internet rather than doing things locally on computers themselves.

My solution to this is to never use Docs directly, but only through Drive

> there's no good way to organize your documents into folders But… there is? Just above this list there's a folder icon, clicking it brings a hierarchical file explorer with nested folders and a breadcrumb tracker at the top showing how deep you are with the ability to jump back to any level. You can show it as a list or a grid, sort… There's also a text field where you can type any part of a document's name and it will list the matching documents like if you were using Spotlight. Also, showing recent documents by default seems like a great idea; most people will likely go back to a document they were recently working on.
