Good riddance, but

Google Docs is also bad -- because you have to run nonfree software to
talk to it, and you have to identify yourself and sign an unjust
contract ot be allowed to use it.

I never heard of the other three; are they any less bad?

It would be a good thing to write an Emacs interface that can talk to
Google Docs; but if it requires a Google account, I'd still say no.
