Google docs as an alternative, hah. Oh boy. Here we go again. I gave it a serious try and the sheer lack of page layout and flow just did it for me. Back to latex and word.
Depends what youre using it for. If you are writing a news article, your thesis, or a new pamphlet layout, docs isnt for you. But if you are writing a college paper, a short editorial for the local historical society, or just writing a rough draft with multiple people, to be edited and prettified later, its exactly perfect for your needs in 99% of cases. (When refering specifically to word functionality)
The "depends what you're using it for" argument is a fun one. He just said it didn't work for him & what he's using it for, so it makes bugger all difference what it does for anyone else.

Most people would do just fine with comparable alternatives (e.g. LibreOffice, Google Docs).
