While google docs has made major gains, both it (and google sheets) lacks word/excel in several ways. Here are a few:

-intuitive date filtering, with cascading y-m-d filters. They dont do that, they do a flat filter

-equation editor. Impossible to use without "coding". Which is as simple as typing shit like \hat or whatever, but to the average office worker, this is infinitely harder than the MS Word way (point and click)

-Numbered lists when converting from PDF -- google docs cannot get numbered lists correct. a 1-2-3-4 in PDF would come out as, for example, 1-2-1-2 in google docs.

However, Google sheets is better than excel for a few things. For one, their =query() formula, which is like fisher-price SQL scripting.

MS Word/Excel/Office in general does have an online version now too that is fully collaborative, just like sheets, so Google has lost that advantage that they used to have.
