Google Docs is really a fantastic tool, at least in principle. The reason I say this is that there are certain things about Google docs that make it impractical. On the other hand, I know that with time, these hurdles will be overcome. The main issues are speed of working with the tools, such as Google Presentations. At the moment it is much faster and much more fun to use OpenOffice or PowerPoint to create presentations. What I really like about Google Docs is the portability and shareability that it allows. I feel that Google Docs is "the future" of Office Apps and I am glad I am so familiar with it.
