Not that I'm expecting to be working on PEPs any time soon, but just as a
different perspective, I would find the effort to open up Google docs to
be a much higher barrier to doing some editing tweaks than the dvcs case.
For the DVCS, I'd just write a little script that would (1) update (2)
open the editor on the file (3) do the commit/push dance when the file
was closed.  So for me it would be as easy as editing the file locally.

So for my work style, a DVCS would be the biggest win.
