Android has a standard file structure. You have access to the files either with a file manager (which then auto launches the appropriate program) or you open the program and it find all the files for you (Docs to go).
The main thing I like is I can connect to any LAN drive or FTP site and grab the files I want and drag them to my Android device. Or I can connect my Android device and drag and drop files onto it from my PC.
The "best" thing would be a seamless syncing in the background. Any files I've worked on with my PC are available on ANY other device. I think this is where Office 365 is going.
The "problem" with storing everything in the cloud is a combination of bandwidth for syncing and security. I know that for most of my programs I'm better of copying files from our server THEN working on them locally, than trying to open them through the VPN.
Also, I don't really want to keep my data "in the cloud". Who exactly is safeguarding my information?

I think - not positive - that iCloud will let you manually drag files from device to device. But it is manual, not sync'ing.
AFAIK. I don't actually create documents on the iPhone/iPad. With laptops now so thin and light, with real keyboards and Haswell power, 10 hour batteries and nice touchscreens, and tablet-like form factors if you must have that, I can't imagine trying to peck out a spreadsheet on an iPad. View one - maybe. Write an email, sure.
