Nice piece; unfortunately it's not just about MS Word. It's pretty common for inferior/hurtful-in-the-long-term products to get leading positions in the market and become "unavoidable". The first easy guess is that marketing people are doing a great job for these products; the second one would be that the majority of us are too stupid/busy/unwilling-to-consider-long-term-consequences to spot their game and go for smarter choices. TL;DR: Please run humanity.upgrade(), we would think about their word processors l8r (:
