After looking at landing page, it's completely unclear what it is. Powerpoint with comments? Pinterest for enterprise? Google Wave with Material design? "Create, review, organize" — but even Quake level editor is about creating, reviewing and organizing.
At Monzo where I work, we use Dropbox Paper quite extensively for internal RFC's in the engineering team. We'd probably prefer to use a Google product since the rest of the company uses Drive so heavily, but Docs is simply atrocious when you need to insert some code.
Why don't you use GitHub (or similar) and markdown documents etc for this?
Initially when Paper was launched I tried and left the product quickly. I was using Quip a lot for my work as it's more developer friendly and easy to manage. I use Paper more and more these days with my team though we are into Google for Work. Google Docs is a tough cookie and an office replica. Those who are in to markdown, they would hardly go back to anything else for formatting. The only catch with markdown is a…
Do you still use Quip at all? Paper looks nice, but I don't see any reason to switch from Quip.
I'll throw Notion ( https://notion.so/ ) into the mix here, as an (as far as I can tell far more full-featured) alternative to this. I've used Paper a number of times, starting from long before Notion was a thing, having been a happy Etherpad and Hackpad user in the past.

>It's Google docs but instead of being aimed at producing documents for prints, it is aimed at producing document for online consumption (multimedia) Pretty weird to name it after a printed medium if it is not primarily meant for printed media.
I think the point is that it's not a printed medium. You can do anything you want with paper... It doesn't give restrictions to what you want to do. You can doodle, make a mind map, sketch an amazingly detailed human eye, or actually take notes and brainstorm in your meeting. Paper is flexible. Software is not. They think they've made a good attempt with "Paper" at providing that flexibility online. Also: https://you…
