I have pointed out various fixable bugs, but I also pointed out some critical things that are fundamentally unfixable, and make the entire approach unbearable. You cannot make it acceptable on a pretty large fraction of mobile devices, and even where it’s not horribly broken, it’s still radically different from every single other thing on the device in extraordinarily frustrating ways.

As for Google Docs, well, I’ll just link to what I’ve written about it before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42253177. I honestly believe they lied in their justification, because the resulting experience is genuinely worse in every way. I can’t comment on how it is on mobile, because I’m too lazy to log in, and they probably do something different on mobile anyway.
