> trivial features
Four features were announced:
1. Convert Markdown to Docs content on paste
2. Copy Docs content as Markdown
3. Export a Doc as Markdown (from File > Download)
4. Import Markdown as a Doc (from File > Open or "Open with Google Docs" from Drive)
Which of these do you see as trivial? These all seem quite complex to me with many edge cases , incompatibilities and ambiguities, especially if there's an expectation that you can round trip losslessly.
All of them. It should have been implemented years ago.
Using GDocs after using notion for a few weeks feels like going back in time.
Notion is one of the best things that happened to Google Docs.
It creates competition and Google Docs has get better since.
Even though Notion is now better on many fronts as you said, people who have to stick to Google Docs benefit from Notion's existence in that way.
