Wait … no it isn’t. In fact Word sucks at all of that!
You would assume that the writer would then tell you which tools do those tasks better. If he says that in this post, I couldn't find it. I did find him saying that "LibreOffice isn’t bad per se, but there are better writing tools out there." I read through his suggested "better" writing tools and the first one he likes better is a writing tool that only works on Macs/iOS and the other is a WordPress plugin. Weird suggestions.
Suggestion: save your time and read something else. There's nothing more than a Mac user's opinion going on here. As a 15+ year author, I've used .doc probably 90% of the time and it's worked, as it does for nearly every major publisher in the past ten years. There - that's my opinion. I just expressed it more succinctly.
