I often use Quip for writing documents and I've started using Google Slides for presentations. They have fewer features than competing tools, but I like them. They have what I need, without being overwhelming. Maybe it takes a paradigm shift (e.g. desktop->web) to drop features.

Bringing a 'command palette' (M-x in Emacs, Cmd-P in Atom) to all Gtk applications in Gnome! https://github.com/p-e-w/plotinus I'd love too see this UI paradigm be pervasive. The ribbon in office is helpfully contextually, but text lists with filtering scale superbly.

Here's a computing paradigm that I think (hope) will become more common: context flowing between devices. I want to switch between devices (e.g. laptop/smartphone/TV/smart speaker) and have state follow me (e.g. music/messaging/browser/documents).
