I'm a teacher who has taught secondary students to use both MS Office & Google Workspace (or whatever they are calling it now).
Google has set the bar for cloud storage, sharing, and recovering past versions after an oopsie. Microsoft is slowly getting there.

Office has tons more features and tools than Google. (Try doing a mail merge in Google. Not gonna happen without grabbing third-party apps.) And some of the locations for stuff in Google are just... weird. (Have to go to FILE to change the page color? Huh?)

Overall, my impression of Google is that outside of a number of core competencies where they are world-class, everything else is half-assed. Google Classroom, for example, is complete poo.

With that said, Google is fine for 90% of the population. The other 10% is those who regularly use tools in Office that don't exist in Google.
