Gears and Docs

The Gears concept is good - I use it for Gmail on a laptop. But Docs [word processor and spreadsheet] are such shadows of their MS and OO competitors as to be all but useless.

I've only worked briefly with Zoho and ThinkFree, but their productivity suites are much more like Office, and offer cloud access and at least some degree of Gear-ness.

I am puzzled about Google's apparent unwillingness to make Docs functionality more like Office [MS or Open].
