There are a lot of awesome things about Quip but I find it hard to move from Google Docs. Part of the challenge is that I have everything stored there already and everyone's familiar with it so sharing externally is never awkward (people don't have to signup for another service). I know @liveink is a huge fan of Quip, though.
@rrhoover I struggled with the same thing too. I used Quip for personal projects and Gdocs for work. I find Quip great for drafting my writing. However, Gdoc is better for inline commenting and collaborative editting. It wasn't until I joined Facebook did I merge the personal and work docs onto Quip b/c FB doesn't use Gdocs. We use Quip and Zoho. Sometimes it just take a forced migration over to one tool ;)
@rrhoover Agreed. Everyone has a GDocs account and knows how to use it. It can do enough of the nerdy stuff people care about from Word, comment at-mentions go neatly into email, and most of my document editing is on a desktop today.
Quip is my Evernote. I use it for speaking notes, capturing stuff while I'm running around, etc. And it doesn't suffer the self-design feature bloat of Evernote.
