    Google docs is only good for collaboration. Otherwise its insane that MS Office is still superior to it.

    Hell, Libreoffice is admittedly slightly behind MS for features, and its still superior to Google Docs.

      The big advantage of google docs is that it is free and good enough. Most people don’t need advanced formatting options, font size and a few choices are sufficient.

          Sure but I can’t run libreoffice on my iPad, and that’s a deciding factor for more people than the licensing.

            Oh sweet green earth. Why the hell would you ever edit documents on an ipad

            You need a job with a sane IT policy.

              Why wouldn’t you? They’re super convenient, being small and lightweight, with high quality keyboards that make them more laptop like, plus they support standard USB and Bluetooth keyboards. They aren’t full laptop replacements, but basic office productivity tasks they surely are, and have first class support from Microsoft office, google docs, and Apple’s office tools. In a meeting for example, they can be used to take notes, and then quickly screen mirror to a TV wirelessly or with a wired adapter and be used as a drawing tablet for sketching ideas or drawing diagrams. Extremely versatile, there’s nothing really like it (well, besides other tablets).

              They certainly don’t replace a real laptop in all aspects, but they do for most people most of the time, hence why it’s common for people to use smartphones and tablets as their only computer.
