Really? Then why is there a big list of files starring at me when I open Google Docs? There's also a "File" menu with the typical options. Perhaps internally they don't represent these data as files but that seems to be how they're presented to the user. Am I missing something?
I think the "File" menu is there because since everyone is used to it, it is expected. Other then that, I don't see a list of files, but I do see a list of documents. Subtle difference, big impact. A document is a file (however, I doubt even that at gdocs), but a file is not necessarily a document. Personally I want to work with documents, not so much with files. Lowlevel stuff is keeping me from doing my actual work.
