I don't get it.
- I think it's just making fun of how absolutely dogshit google productivity apps are.
  
  Compared to what? We use some of the Google stuff (mail, calendar, meet and Google office) and they do the job.
  
  Compared to Microsoft, they're... both bad.
  
  Amazingly it doesn't focus at all on the person with Downs.
- Oh, it is just a pretty terrible set of tools if you need to do anything that is semi professional (build a complex spreadsheet or a presentation you can show in public, for example).
  
  Uh what do you mean by "complex" here? That's what apps script is for. I have a spreadsheet that processes my gmail inbox using regular expressions. Try that in Excel.

Google Wave would be much more helpful now. Too bad it was released (and subsequently killed) about a decade before anyone was ready for it.
- Never heard of Google Wave. Am intrigued.
  
  It was similar to what things like Teams turned out to be. But it was when things even like office online were in their infancy. Everyone knew that it would be great one day, but not until everyone was comfortable with each of its individual components.

I've experienced finally getting the perfect product or feature in Workspace only to either have it ripped away OR them putting it behind a paywall. RIP Cloud print.

Do everything you need in it to make a business run. Except operate in any kind of a secure system.
