I have the opposite opinion. If I have something that I don’t care if it’s irrecoverable 5 years from now, or I don’t care that it prints differently on each printer, MS Office can fit the bill.

I collaborate with others, a lot, though. Google is simply better at that



I used Google Docs a lot initially for my Masters for our team projects but eventually we switched to our corporate Teams collaboration space. We couldn’t get Google Docs to match the formats needed for assignments. Word worked out of the box.


What was “the format needed for the assignment”? Was it “Microsoft word”?


The content and format of the text needed could not be replicated in Google Docs like the proper fonts, headers, footers etc
