That's so interesting. We have Workspace at work but we have bought Zoom licenses for several us because we find Meet to be a much worse experience. We're now considering buying Zoom licenses for everyone at the company.
I also find Google Sheets to be inferior to Excel, and we have Office licenses for myself and a few others that use spreadsheets.
The only thing I think is good with Workspace is Gmail and Calendar. Everything else is kind of meh.
How did you find Meet to be worse? They're broadly similar in terms of UI and features (but Meet is definitely slicker). The main difference I've found is that Zoom cuts out way more than Meet. In fairness when it does cut out it has a nicer recovery mechanism - it replays what the person said at like 3x speed so you usually still get to hear what they said. Meet doesn't do that. But Meet is still way better because it very rarely cuts out in the first place, whereas Zoom is just the classic "sorry could you repeat that" video conferencing experience that everyone expects.
