A bit like how Office was THE program in the late 90s and in the 2000s before Google Docs really started taking off.

This is wishful thinking. Google Docs is only hovering around 10% market share.



Google Docs has a feature set more in line with Wordpad (the stripped down word processor that comes with Windows) than Office Word. I can't understand how anyone can use it for anything at all without running into its limitations, so I'm not surprised it's not all that popular outside of basic shared documents.


I would say Works, it’s much more than Wordpad.

The vast majority of documents people write for within Google Docs’ limitations. I wouldn’t use it for a book or maybe a dissertation. But it works great for a lot of day to day internal business documents.


That seems low to me, but I wouldn’t be surprised at all if it’s not dominant. However it has an awful lot of mindshare.
