| Are people still using single user desktop office suites? It makes me wonder if there's some kind of light decentralized thing that can be used with a convention oauth style front end |

| I do. Although I have no love for Office, it allows me to keep all of my data locally seamlessly. With online-only tools, I'm one unfair ban away from losing all my data. |

I just searched for "banned from google docs" and some people seem to either be questioning whether it happened to them or if it is possible. I never considered that possibility. I guess my other question is word processing programs usually have a target format of paper ... is that how you're still using it? | | |

| MS Office isn't single user? It supports real-time collaboration, including in the desktop apps. Though that does require you to keep the files in onedrive or sharepoint. |
