Word is usually called a "word processor", because it liters the
files with metadata and format codes. (But, I suppose you could
set it to output plain text files, in what case I can't see how it
should not be considered an editor, in part. A lousy one, but
still.)

I *do* have a problem that people use Word and the like. The end
result is never good. They don't enjoy writing it, and they don't
care to make it look good. (I guess this is OK, because I don't
have to write, or read it.) But, all this misery makes for
unhappy, frustrated people. They don't want to do fun things with
me, because all their energies are consumed being frustrated and
angry (or apathetic) at work: with Word, Outlook, and Access. It
really stinks :(
