Yes, I know it's not fair to word processors (like Word, WordPerfect,
Macwrite, etc) to attempt to compare them to TeX, but when faced with
the question:

	Why should I have to tolerate the fickleness of TeX when
	I can use Word or WordPerfect?

an educational reply must be formulated. I have exactly that task now,
and was wondering if someone has already done this.
