    A screwdriver doesn’t become a bad screwdirver just because someone is using it to drive nails.

    But if it looks like a hammer…

    Office loks like an extended text editor but hides the xml aspect. No wonder most people use it as an extended text editor, doing formatting wrong.

      Words problem is partly because they tried to make it into a swiss army knife, but it just ended up being one of those goofy “multi-tool pens”, that don’t do anything good.

      Okay, maybe thats an bit of an exaggeration, Word is amazing for text and pretty much any text related formatting you can think of*, but the second you want to add an image, it becomes a nightmare.

      *from a non-technical person/ease of the GUI perspective. I know LaTek is much better getting your end goal efficiently, but Word can still get you there…eventually.
