Well as I move into a new business venture focusing on services provided within the cloud. I was feeling the “love” for Google have a great time working with Google App Engine and GWT. So… silly me I thought I would go one step further, lets create all documentation from within Google Docs. It’s up to the task right?
Sadly, I would have to say the answer after two or three days trying to cope is a big NO. first impressions made me feel that it really was going to be ok. Sadly after my third table inserted I realized I had no ability format the table to look at least basically presentable. Where is the ability to format the table. Or remove borders? Then the font limitation hit me, then picture and diagram limitations became issues. I soon realised that sure its OK for basic document/note management but its in no way a real word processor.
That’s ok I guess… but I guess I will switch back to Open Office for now, it was also a timely reminder that gloss and a 5 minute play around don’t give you a true impression of any tool you use.
