Are you really using Google Docs as an example of the best that can be done ? (Assuming it's even a morally acceptable example, we are on Hacker News, aren't we ?)
(Also, this isn't so much about the best that can be done, but about what your median developer is able to do and/or median user is going to have to deal with.)
- afavour 4y agoAt no point did I say Google Docs is the best that can be done. But the efficiency with which it matched Office and blew OpenOffice out of the water ought to be of note. People weren’t just okay with office software in their browser, they flocked to it. I don’t really see what Hacker News has to do with it. Are we supposed to deny the popularity of things because we don’t think they’re technically impressive enough?
