WYSIWYG editors are often the worst thing to ever exist. (See: Dreamweaver) I don't know how Word has managed to stay alive for so long.

What exactly is the alternative?

[–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago (5 children)

Literally any typesetting software.

Go on?

There is absolutely no way that I am teaching Jan in accounting to use Latex.

Does Jan in accounting make a lot of documents beyond a simple text block?

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yes. She needs to add images, format text by highlighting and click an easy button, and insert an excel table.

That sounds like very much not her job. But hey, if this mythical Jan from accounting actually does need to do all that, the company should provide a template.
