I think you summed up exactly what's wrong with the Microsoft approach to documents here.
In Pages, or Google Docs, it's just a document. It's always saved, always up to date, it just works.
That's the future.

I have a friend that uses Google Docs. He once sent me a link to a Google Docs spreadsheet.
I got lost in the user interface at one point and ended up seeing the list of all of his documents. I clicked on one thinking it was the correct one and loaded what appeared to be on quick notice a journal of various medical problems he's been having.
That's the future.
You're right. The future is people using technology that they don't want to be bothered to learn and thereby having it do things that nobody (especially them) intended. I'm sorry you lost a document but you fell through 3 failsafe levels and did it to yourself. Pretending things like that don't happen to Google Docs is ridiculous and shows your true bias.
Also, it obviously doesn't "just work" for you because you couldn't even use Google Docs in your place of business.
