We probably talk to different sets of people, as I don't even know anybody who ever used Google Docs.

I've been at multiple companies where Google Drive and Docs/Sheets are the only thing people use.

That's because the execs force them.

LMAO Why the fuck would I wanna install office on my mac.

Woosh

No. That wasn't a whoosh. Or even a woosh.

Oh, yes, typo aside (which is the lowest form of critique) it was.

It's not about why this or that person would want to install the MS Office on their Mac (millions do after all). So the pointed flew above their head.

It's about the point that many people having to use Google Docs are doing so because corporate wants them to. (In fact most people using MS Office do it because it's a work requirement too).

I'm a bit late in replying - but I've been a user of Google Docs since launch by choice and still use it by choice. I've never really worked "corporate" but the few times I've had contact with that world they were entirely Microsoft.

That's really surprising to me.

You should checkout startups. They would blow your mind.
