Amazon had both wiki and Quip, and both were bad, but differently.

Wiki was painfully slow to edit (and render, ~2 sec page render was typical, and I'm not counting some graphs that were asynchronously rendered).

Quip is good for fast editing, but anything that needed code formatting there is bad. It's even more "print oriented" than Google docs. Fixed page width, very fixed formatting, tables are awful.
