The editor works so well that I now us it for personal stuff as well, taking over from other tools, such emacs/.txt and my wiki, as my tool of choice. People are constantly sharing works-in-progress with other collaborators, and it is such a killer feature that I wonder how we all lived without it. I've even tried using Docs as a blog post editor with some success. The editing phase was brilliant, though the HTML that was posted via xmlrpc was a little rough around the edges. (It was valid and formatted well on screen, just not exactly the way I'd normally do it by hand. A heck of a lot better than the old Office HTML export, though!)
