In academia it's common to use word and that means if we are writing papers all the PIs are using it...google docs is better for collab...but would prefer open source solution. Issue is none of the open source word type software play well with Microsoft word...for obvious reasons... (the moment u got figures and formatting it all goes to shit...i mean even word struggles to keep word documents correctly formated between versions of it self) fml.
