The ease of creating a gmail account has nothing to do with the point to which I was responding (context which is lost from your reply). That's setup. I was responding to a point talking about in-the-moment workflow. A browser and a GUI javascript program are slower than a unix command line based editor such as vim or emacs both to open up and to use. Thus for me, by using a script to automate the part that the OP suggested would slow the dvcs user down (the update/commit/push cycle), I make the dvcs in-the-moment workflow much faster _for me_ than Google Docs. As I said it's a matter of personal style. Some people _will_ find Google Docs easier and more productive than a dvcs. My point was that not all people will. --RDM
