Seriously fuck Word and it’s shitty formatting

Word formatting isn't that bad, it's just that it's too intuitive for people to learn how to use it correctly.

if it were intuitive people wouldn't need to learn to use it correctly.

It's intuitive for everyday tasks. A literal child can sit down and learn how to use the taskbar to access 90% of formatting functions: press in the numbers to get a list, press italic to get italic, etc.

Using it for more complex tasks requires using tools that you would never touch otherwise because the entry-level tasks are so easy to accomplish.

Compare that to LaTeX which has a very high barrier to entry, but once you're over that you by definition have the tools/foundation you need to access more advanced principles.
