Someone had commented that such complete lack of structure was not simply viable for organizations, and the approach of online collaboration software like HyperOffice was better, because they offered collaboration tools within the parameters of some structure, which allowed control, organization of people in groups, as well as cater to coordination needs of teams (task scheduling, calendars, meetings).

I am inclined towards the latter view, as i think adobe.com brings only one part of the “collaboration picture” rather than the complete picture. In addition to document collaboration, the online collaboration should reflect organizational structure (the ability to group information in workspaces for teams, projects, departments), allow for coordination (project management, calendars, meeting scheduling), as well as discussion (discussion forums). And as in a solution like HyperOffice, it is ideal that all these pieces of the collaboration picture are present within the same software, allowing for free flow if information between different elements.
