Coming from the half-broken, arcane user interfaces of the programming world, GUI interfaces like the one Word has are a piece of cake. Even if you haven't used these programs for years -- and have largely missed their repeated UI overhauls -- the interfaces are so discoverable that you can learn the latest iteration of these programs without reading a book or looking anything up. I sometimes suspect that there's a large subset of programmers who are irrationally snobby and elitist towards discoverable UX.
