That anyone would consider Google docs et al a suitable total replacement for a desktop word processing app does my head in. They have their uses, but even as someone that doesn't need to write up especially complex documents I can't imagine opting for a web-app to craft them in. Nothing to do with data ownership, as I keep the documents in a hosted managed service (usually Onedrive these days).
- gfxgirl 4y agoI can't imagine using a destkop app for this. Google docs is great! I can open the same doc on my desktop, my two laptops, my tablet, and my phone, and if I need to share it it's just a couple of clicks to share a live version. I can't imagine using a desktop app for this From like 1993 To 2008 i used microsoft office. Bought new versions often, etc... When I started using google docs I haven't touched office since. Zero desire to go back. There are plenty of other apps I'd consider for web only if good ones existed. For example I'm not a super fan of Google Slides, just because I find the feature set lacking. But seeing it and similar sites work it's clear to me someone could make a vector drawing app for the web that I'd be perfectly happy to give up Affinity Designer for.
