We call this GoogleDocs....ADVANCED. Yes, advanced for offering more features GoogleDocs has not done..yet. What makes this very useful to us students is the math feature. It's the best web app, we believe for those in the computing fields.
Our group gives this a 5/5 well because it serves it's purpose well and because, yet again, the math feature. It's better than GoogleDocs for having a more wide scale in terms for students. However, we believe that Google will one day use this web app's system in order to improve Google Docs. So for the mean time, enjoy this well :D.
