Word improves too. i dont use Word, i dont like it, but i respect
the enormous amount of research and testing behind its interface, and
its obvious (to me) that its light years ahead of eg 4AllTeX. i find X
windows and emacs a more fruitful environment, but then we all know
you get better coffee if your roast your own beans, grind them, and
make a proper brew. hands up all those who drank coffee prepared in
some less ideal way today
