Honestly, its gotta be the MS Office suite.
Yes if you're just writing your own simple documents libreoffice/OpenOffice will work, but if you have to do anything more complex than a single page spreadsheet, text-on-white presentations, or 3 page MLA book reports.... or, even worse, have to interact with documents and spreadsheets created by basically any other person on the planet, I've just never had a good consistent experience with any of the free options.
I hate Office365 with passion. It's extremely unproductive and alternatives like Quip are much better.
Iβm surprised to see quip here, honestly itβs never been for me (even with itβs salesforce integration). What do you like about it compared to gdocs / word?
Quip is very lightweight. It's not clogged with 200 features I'm never going to use.
That's why I don't use any of the real "365" web apps, only their desktop apps which do keep the bullshit to some minimum.
