How is Dropbox Paper better than Google Docs?

Imagine if you could format Google Docs using markdown, including code fences with syntax highlighting built right in.

Paper does that.

I’ve been using Paper for months and it feels old and stodgy now when I open a Google Docs.

It forces you to focus on content, not layout, and it has a great editing & commenting experience. Basically it's Google docs with fewer features, and then the remainder very well done. This makes it a joy to use.

Even comparing Google Docs against itself, it fails. Slow to launch, poor search, document corruption. The only good quality is being able to plus someone a task.
