Well, MS Word is a bad example, as it's lacking even some very basic 
features like a good user interface for styles. (This is the reason why 
most people are using Word just like a typwriter instead of creating 
structured documents.)
There were and probably still are better word processors, especially for 
scientific use.

The discussion here is not about "any GUI builder", but about a "good 
and easy to use GUI builder".
