People say that. But WYSIWYG editors are the primary cause of
frustrated yelling from the far end of the house, in my experience. I
think they're an attractive nuisance. They're complicated to get right
("pure" WYSIWYG is useless, so you have to balance the visual benefit
of being close to the result against the utility of seeing some of the
non-printing information), and non-modular. With a text editor +
compiler concept (whether the compiler's language is as big and
complex as LaTeX or as simple as ReST), you can change editors without
breaking anything. You don't like Libre Office Writer? Tough, there's
no real alternative if you want to work on LO files.
