Office package for Internet and open source era. MS Office concept was good in 1990. Google Docs just replaced local drive with cloud drive.
Tools for developers are really good. IDEs and DVCS are pleasure to work with. But try to work on a spec, RfP, Offer, etc. with Word and Outlook. Online wikis are quite good but it is not possible to send them via email to a third party.
My idea for a text editor:
* storage: wiki text files + embedded git repo
* save all to a single file, but with possibility to access and edit the contents via web server / web app
* possibility to squash all edits and send a clean copy (branch) as an attachment
* possibility to incorporate changes sent back, thanks to DVCS
* two edit modes: WYSIWYG and markdown style for experts
* two client modes: standalone with thick client (based on Webkit) and html5 client
* possibility to access and modify the contents via APIs (Java, Ruby, ...)
* optimized for screens, not for A4 / US letter pages
You get the idea. Corporations would love something like this.
