I still miss etherpad. I use some of the alternatives, but it's not the same :(

Google Docs seems to support a very Etherpad-like interface, but it's a little too bloated for what I used to use Etherpad for.
A while ago Google Docs even switched to using Etherpad-style operational transformation instead of diff-match-patch. Some pretty mind-bending technology here:

They released the code, host your own (I have a friend who does):

Google docs is very similar to what etherpad used to be. All be it far less user friendly you can watch others edit and update in real time.
There's two main differences for me.
a) It takes some work to create a new Google doc and set it up for sharing. Etherpad was as simple as pasting the URL.
b) Etherpad shows changes from different users with a different background color. Google Docs is invisible.

Thanks for pointing that out.
Yes, you're right, but "albeit" is the word you're looking for, not "all be it".
