With love and respect.

Why not? Collaborative editing is extremely useful. I've done it at work, with friends, and with my gf.

There's no reason the government couldn't own it's providers via NextCloud or something.

EDIT: I guess the big, mean old collaborative editing features are out to get us and take away our freedoms and steal our puppies. Collab editing must be Satan's work and there's no way any moral person should find it helpful.

In my line of work we’re constantly changing shared documents, often at the same time. The desktop vanilla version can’t do this yet, so while I can use it happily for personal stuff I haven’t been able to get it to fit in with my job’s workflow yet.

I very much want to get off Office!
