Google Docs & Spreadsheets

Another place where I've had an account but haven't really used it. Coming back today I noticed that formatting with Google Docs is much more like formatting in e-mail and blogs. The little tabs up top and icons to click rather than the pull-down menus of word. Is Web 2.0 pushing us toward a universal editing menu?

Things that I like about docs & spreadsheets:

Having them accessible where you are using the web and not tied to a computer.

Collaboration is also a plus.

Why haven't I used it? Old habits die hard. I'm just used to clicking on the desktop icon and using words. Complying with expected standards is also a reason -Microsoft Office has been so dominant that people expect it to be used.

Need to keep coming back here and using this.
