Arguably Google Docs has done the best. It hasn't changed much, whereas all the other things you mentioned have got significantly worse.

Meet is also an outlier.

It doesnt have all the features in the world but it has some technically impressive ones, least of all the “I can tell you’re all in a meeting room, so I am going to selectively increase the audio where people are speaking and prevent echo from all the speakers”.

I’d love more love for screen sharing, but meet is the only product I see that is getting materially better over time.

Meet is actually surprisingly brilliant tbh.

100% agree - it also has had essentially no fanfare or sales/marketing, despite it being far and away the best VC software (IMO).

Against all odds, they somehow learned from their dozen failed attempts at the space, and succeeded the 13th time.
