Yes, Google deserves to be distrusted and avoided as a whole, but Google Scholar is a genuinely net good for humanity.

I have similar feeing for Gmail (it's effective anti spam engine), google maps and google docs (which pioneered shared docs. It feels outdated on many fronts now, but it was a pioneer).

Do people use shared docs often in the workplace? I only used it on like two group projects in school and it probably made things more clunky than if we just wrote our portions and compiled them after. Maybe it works for some workflows but having multiple people editing the same document is chaotic, unless you delegate who does what, at which point there's no point in having it be a shared doc when the responsibilities are delegated.

All the time, it is incredibly useful to send a doc for comments, which can be attached to the relevant piece of text. I use shared editing less often, but I find it's especially useful in incident response where there may be multiple investigation workstreams, and the incident commander needs to be able to see all of them.

I’m shocked people are managing incidence response over a google dock… what happened to emailing things to people?
