What are you talking about? Word is the standard for docs in many large engineering companies.

That does not make it good.

Oh, it totally sucks. I'm pointing out that the pain didn't end in the 90's, and continues 30 years later :-(

		I used to work with a guy that used docx files for all his note taking. Basically did all text writing (other than code) in Word. We had Notepad++ at the time as well, so he just preferred Word for some reason.
