Google is never going to close slides or docs. Gsuite makes them enterprise money.

Don't be so sure. Yeah, G Suite makes them money, free Google Slides or Docs doesn't.

After seeing them close down a couple of services I never thought they would close down, I don't think anything "free" is off-limit right now. Especially depending on how the US/world economy goes.

Would you bet on Google never closing Slides? I wouldn’t.

I'll bet it's still here in ten years. Fifteen if there are no dramatic technological shake ups.

I know Google kills off stuff left and right, but Gsuite has huge penetration in business and academia. Slides are a part of that.
