"Product doesn't meet my narrow expectations; is bad product."
1. We use Slab. It's a fairly ok product in a crowded space. Needs maturity. Far better than confluence.
2. I have had no experience with the lag that another commenter insists is a product killer, and I write and edit docs all day.
3. The niche this product and others like it solve is to keep your entire company's docs organized and discoverable. Remembering to file things away correctly, share content, and do full text search on google drive is... not a good experience.
4. Editor is pretty solid and responsive. If you know markdown it's a breeze. Literally can't understand why you'd want to edit raw markdown when the WYSIWYG reflects markdown syntax as well as it does.
