And they had Skype, which was practically a genericized trademark for "video call--" until first Apple's FaceTime and then Zoom utterly took them apart.

And they had Office, which defined the product category so completely that it's called "office software--" but then Google Docs took them apart on a molecular level.

Microsoft is the king of snatching defeat from the clutching jaws of victory.

Is Google Docs as popular as Microsoft Office?

I work in finance/insurance and can't see a way to move away for Excel (there's still there spreadsheets with 10+ years still being used).

My wife's company uses GDocs, but they're do food research and barely uses those programs.

I would doubt it, it is nowhere near as good as office and google sheets specifically has much smaller worksheets than excel, with only 26 rows.

Do you mean... columns?

[–] lagoon8622@sh.itjust.works 0 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

But Google Sheets isn't limited to 26 rows, 26 columns, or 26 worksheets. Idk what GP was talking about. It's certainly limited but not to that extent

I wonder if it is more limited in certain contexts, such as on a mobile device (like on iOS? I don't have one to test).
