Google docs certainly haven't changed much the last 5-10 years. I wonder if that's an intentional choice, or if it is because those that built it and understand how it works are long gone to work on other things.

Actually I did see a few long awaited improvements landing in gdocs lately (e.g. better markdown support, pageless mode).

I think they didn't deliver much new features in early 2020s because they were busy with a big refactoring from DOM to canvas rendering [0].

No more development? Time for Google to kill Google Docs!
