This is a great reply. Solid facts.

Regarding you experience with GSuite, assuming that you have used MS Office previously, do you find it sufficient for your needs?

We use Google docs for design docs and proposals. We use sheets for basic organization. Engineering, I think, generally just jumps to SQL (redshift/mode) or Jupyter Notebook once we get beyond a few thousand rows. I use Excel sometimes to view CSVs but that's about it.

I worked with MS Office before. My use of Word was the same and google docs, actually, I think is better due to a lack of fancy features. I just use basic text formatting in outline format and attached pictures.

I didn't use excel before.

So yeah I prefer gsuite to office. I had to do a document with word and track changes over email a few months back. It was brutal. Gsuite destroys that workflow.

More great feedback. I'm glad you specifically answered about "sufficient for your needs". There so much bashing from power users, but (to me) the killer app of GSuite is "good enough for most users" and way cheaper than original Microsoft Office.
