I can't think of a better WYSIWYG editor than Word, and the world obviously needs one, not everyone is going to tackle the learning curve on LaTeX or Framemaker. I'm ok at LaTeX, but I'll use Word for a short job. LaTeX is hard and will trip me up, Word is hard to manage large documents in, so for small pieces of work, Word, for large, LaTeX. And yes, my world would definitely not work without Excel.
