#3Well, at least users have to add them to the dropbox list manually. The cool thing of Google Docs, for me, was that it didn't allow many options, to avoid the mismash of informal, unchecked styles that happens in Word.
With this Office-ification of Docs I see a potential disruption. Maybe a LaTeX-like collaborative WYSIWYG editor? That is, one that has only four or five possible document types, and is very opinionated and consistent in how the document is styled. Like TeXmacs, but online and simpler.

#5Unfortunately, there have been a few other less welcome changes recently that weren't mentioned in the TechCrunch article. For example, I can no longer see the revision history of a very important spreadsheet at all: it seems to have become corrupted somehow a few days ago, and winds up half-drawn with no content showing any time I click on an older version now.
As much as I appreciate allowing more design features in Docs, I think they should first have addressed the glaring omissions in basic functionality (by which I mean things real spreadsheets did a decade or two ago, not "basic" things that are very important but only to 5% of the market) and the horrible reliability and backward compatibility.

#6A word count on the summary page would be nice for text docs

#7I am happy to hear about new fonts; this seems overdue. Now, I'd really like Google Docs to allow setting a document's language. Currently, if you want spell-check in a foreign language, you have to change the language in your account settings, which then changes the UI language too. I want english language UI, with foreign language support in the document.

#8Is my browser's zoom setting supported yet?
As far as I know, it's an avoidance for a WebKit bug wherein elements' pixel positions and sizes are simply wrong at non-default zoom levels; see https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60318 and all related.

#9The biggest and most appreciated change for me is its stability. Gdocs was either crashing or down so frequently in previous few months that I thought they're abandoning it for some reason. It was so bade that I looked for alternatives like Zoho and others. Having had much trouble in the past month, hope they keep it up.

#10I've never been able to figure out how to get my own styles. In particular I'd like a style named 'code' that I can then use for various code and API text in documents.
