I have been using Google Docs for the better part of a year now. Why? I can create documents (word, excel and powerpoint look-alikes) anywhere and google saves these for me for easy retrival from anywhere. Plus, it is free, and there is no need to update my computer with seemingly never ending software changes.
Using the word document interface is very easy. It is just like using Microsoft’s Word program–you just use your browser to do it. You can also easily share it with co-authors who have a Gmail account.
I am waiting for Microsoft to come out with their own model of this, but that would necessitate them cannabalizing their very profitable Office suite.
Try it out yourself at:

Why do you say best? There are really good alternative to it and also much better, may the fact that it integrates into the whole ecosystem of Mail, Communications and Document, oh well its Google. There are very many better alternatives available, eg: Adobe Buzzword.
Thanks for the feedback. What do you like better about Buzzword?
No the not that I like it better, I just wanted to know your reasoning to call it the Best Free Software Around. There a lot better than Docs.
