But gmail and gdocs are actually also quite easy to leave behind. gdocs, just like office 365 are severely limited word processing programs. Every time I have to use one of them, which fortunately is not that often, I find bugs or sluggishness or even breakage.
Lots of very ordinary features missing. Mishandling of lists and nested lists (pet peave of mine). Unintuitive handling of styling when a paragraph break occurs and such things. The list goes on. Very sub-par functionality. Most people might not need more, but I personally cannot stand it, when things are directly formatted and formatting rules are not put in styles. It is as if your styled all HTML of a website directly and completely forgot about CSS existing.
MS office was always behind on enabling the users to use styles instead of directly formatting every single thing of a kind, when looking at free libre alternatives. Same goes for gdocs. I would not call either of the two "professional".
