Seriously. Online productivity suites are, what, two years old now? (Writely launched in October 2005.) If good software takes ten years[1], we're 20% of the way there.
For god's sake, people, have some patience, and enjoy the bleeding edge while it lasts! In 2020, complaints about the performance of online apps are going to sound as quaint as my complaint about my first hard drive does today. (I paid $400 for 80 lousy megabytes in 1990. I can barely even type that, it sounds so unbelieveable now.)
