Google Docs, for sure. Zoho just <i>feels</i> strange to use, and their UI is just atrocious, to be honest. Google Docs gets the document organization on the dot (Zoho... botches it) and gets usability and lightness of the user interface correctly. Lastly, the collaboration features are better than Zoho Writer's.<p>I still kind of prefer some aspects of the Writely UI (<a href="http://jaman.ca/files/images/writley-snap.JPG" rel="nofollow">http://jaman.ca/files/images/writley-snap.JPG</a>), but the new changes to the Google Docs UI make it awesome (especially the fixed-page-width view.)

Google Docs. All the little Microsoft-friendly touches and branding tie-ins of Zoho just rub the wrong way. If they are spending that much time making things work well with Outlook, Office, and, ugh, MS IE, that's that much less time they have to make things work well for better platforms, so I don't trust them to keep improving it at the same pace as GD can maintain.

Google Docs - the UI is easier to pick up and work with, seems to be more robust too. Importing presentations is near perfect in Google Docs, not at all good in Zoho. I'd hoped Zoho would be better. Think they are trying to do too much with too many different apps and the UI mimics MS circa mid-90s

Zoho for me. I like having one company to go to for project mgmt, CRM, docs, etc.

GD for me. :) Already integrated to Gmail and other Google services.

Despite often outpacing Google in the development of new features, Zoho is looking to form closer ties with the internet giant.<p>"We are going to offer documents automatically synced with Google so you have two copies - one in Zoho and one in Google.<p>Source: <a href="http://www.itnews.com.au/News/76592,zoho-targets-the-iphone-in-mobile-office-race.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.itnews.com.au/News/76592,zoho-targets-the-iphone-...</a>
