I do care about user experience and google forms is surprisingly great at it. it is the best because it is known. the only difference is that people aren’t scared of it. they know how to use it. there’s no weird pop-ups, no confusing layouts. it means it’s a clean path from the first question to the submit button.

I like how it can auto-adjust for different forms of screen sizes. it’s as good on a tablet as it is on a desktop.

I also think the form building interface is really snappy and reacts to my clicks.
