G-Suite

Google Slides makes me want to cry every time I have to use it. Google Docs isn't much better. They're poor web versions of office software from the 90s.

Google drive is a disaster of product. Uploading and finding files are both incredibly painful.

Google sheets is fine for simple stuff, and I get why people use it, but there's far better alternatives. For anything moderately complex it's a dog.

I can't stand the gmail interface, but I can at least see why some people prefer it. It's the one part of the suite that isn't far inferior to its competitors.

you are mistakenly judging g suite on the individual product requirements. eg how a spreadsheet should function. that’s not what g suite is.

all features are MVP and the main selling point is being collaborative.

Fair. I also find the collaboration tools clunky and annoying to use.

When judging it as a whole, I find it worse than judging individual components. For example, sheets on its own is a decent tool; sheets as part of the suite is dragged dow by the rest.

clunky and annoying compared to what? they are the best i’ve seen and quite good. if there’s something better please share. i would love to know about it.

comments in spreadsheets stink but everything else is pretty great. ok one more flaw. you can’t unassigned a task from yourself. you can only reassign to someone else or mark it done (which clears the comment thread).
