The collaborative editing (which I first recall seeing in Google Wave) was essentially carried into Google Docs.
N.B, "SubEthaEdit had this for years!" - I know.
As a whole, it could be argued that where Wave failed, Slack - and predecessors like Basecamp - succeeded.
iWork has always seemed like it has a different user in mind with its collaborative features and never really had much traction in the market, which is already served by offerings whose entire reason for being is collaboration, not just as a general productivity suite.
