So you can share and collaborate...but the functionality to actually _create_, that's hopelessly oversimplified and undocumented. I think you are missing my fundamental point.
My point is that for many, the creation functionality is not bad enough to offset the availability and collaboration benefits.
I see this as a disappointing race to the bottom for the quality of artifacts that we produce and the tools with which we produce them.
