No, they aren't. I'm not trying to be argumentative, but there is a difference between true support and a superficial check-mark.
>I get the best-of-breed argument. Nino's thesis is that people will find more value if enough tools are bundled in one place
I'd like to interrogate this a little more. Why would someone not go with MS365 or Workspace?
I can see your answer of:
>Nino has a better foundation to (1) consolidate a lot more apps than they currently do, (2) drastically improve speed with offline architecture, and (3) offer unmatched privacy and security with end-to-end encryption (coming soon)
Taking this point by point:
1) Your ambition is to have more apps, but the reality is that TODAY, both MS365 and Workspace actually have MORE applications integrated, and those applications are much more feature-rich.
2) MS365 certainly has deep offline integration. Workspace, I'm not sure what their capabilities are.
3) Neither MS365 nor Workspace supports true e2e (though I seem to remember Workspace having some option to import your own keys for client-side encryption) - regardless, I'm not sure that's enough as a selling point. Also, e2e has many challenges around the UX of key management, rotation and sharing.
By the way, MS365 and Workspace are not the only games in town. If you want to see another example of a 'super-app' that supports a million 'modules' take a look at ZohoOne - they support everything under the sun for a relatively low price, and all of it is mediocre (at best).

Another thing I can't gauge from your page is, what it means for one of your modules to be very well integrated against another. You have a chat app and a slide app .. how do those work together that puts MS365 to shame?
