For you Office users, I'm surprised you're not taking advantage of coauthoring and simultaneous editing.

The actual Word application experience is miles better than editing Google Docs in a browser. Granted, I'm in a corporate office environment where everyone has Office 365, autosave is enabled (automatic sync to OneDrive), and the master files are often in SharePoint or similar. Functionally though, it's the best of both worlds.

One area I find Google much better at in general is ease of sharing documents, especially given how it integrates directly into Gmail (or its Google Workspace equivalent) since the embed is right in the email, you can pass around a link and open it from your browser, etc.

I tend to think of the two as complementary tools. For actual documents (e.g. writing a contract) I'd much rather do it in Word. If I'm just drafting an office memo, I might do it in Google Docs and share a link around.
