To be fair, we were impressed with Google Docs 15 years ago. Not saying office.com isn't impressive, but Google Docs certainly isn't impressive today. My company still uses GSuite, as I don't like being in Microsoft's ecosystem and we don't need any advanced features of our office suite but Google Docs and the rest of the GSuite seem to be intentionally held back to technology of the early 2010's.

- jakub_g 2y agoActually I did see a few long awaited improvements landing in gdocs lately (e.g. better markdown support, pageless mode). I think they didn't deliver much new features in early 2020s because they were busy with a big refactoring from DOM to canvas rendering [0].
