Most of my online activity involves Google. I use GMail, GDrive, Docs, Maps and several other Google products extensively.
But for me a Chromebook/-box would only be useful as a second, backup PC; about as much use as a space-saver spare wheel for my car. Good enough for emergencies, but not a long-term solution.
It might do everything that 80% of users need, but I'm somewhere in that other 20% who were using PCs before they became entertainment devices around the mid-Nineties.
Until I can run things like IntelliJ, Eclipse, Scrivener and pandoc on a Chromebook, it's not going to be enough. Also KSP.
