I hate Office365 with passion. It's extremely unproductive and alternatives like Quip are much better.

That's why I don't use any of the real "365" web apps, only their desktop apps which do keep the bullshit to some minimum.

I’m surprised to see quip here, honestly it’s never been for me (even with it’s salesforce integration). What do you like about it compared to gdocs / word?

Quip is very lightweight. It's not clogged with 200 features I'm never going to use.
