I'm not familiar with the "track changes" feature of Word - it's quite possible that Google has no equivalent yet. I’m more of a casual user of Word / Google Docs than you are.

This is indispensable to my work, as an editor and as a college instructor. Maybe I'm missing it somehow? Where would you find this in the program?

Sure, there's always a worry about security - is my data safe, what if someone hacks my account, what if Google dies. And they are valid concerns, to be sure. However, since i use Gmail as my primary email, I already put a ton of trust in Google to stay alive. Trusting them with my documents is a small leap, when I already trust them with my main form of electronic communication. Strong passwords, and regular backups can help ease your apprehension. Much simpler than doc file everywhere, at least for me. Yup, the docs are stored in The Great World of Google.

On Google's servers? Why wouldn't you be worried about security? I would. At least if the files are on my home computer they're safe - I don't have to be connected to the internet, etc. Great if you're ok with that though - in theory it does sound good.
