What do you use to edit/create documents and spreadsheets with others?

 
I don't. Anything I create is done with Vim. For external use we have
tech writers that make it pretty. My attempts to edit RFPs with
LibreOffice don't work well, so I either use Vim and reference the
sections or print relevant pages and use a pen.

 
Amazing that none of you has mentioned latex. You can edit documents
with vi.

The only things I know about latex are gloves and paint. It goes back to
never needing to make documents look pretty. I do know a little about
nenscript from a programming aspect. We used a modified version to allow
for headers, footers, and font selection for printed reports and I had to
tweak the code.
