Some of us don't like any of the current alternatives.
In my opinion Gmail beats Outlook for mail, but Google apps are not really enterprise-ready for calendar and docs. Editing a document offline is not a feature that should just now be becoming sort of usable, it should have been fundamental from the beginning. Confusion between Google Apps and personal Google logins is common. Managing a Google calendar is painful, and basically has not improved at all in years.
I have no desire to go back to using Office for everything, but I have very little confidence that Google is actually going to spend much effort in getting things right for these use cases either.
