What, Word? Word isn't even an editor, it is a bloody word
processor. You can't program or do any scientific or technical
work in Word. You can't even write a lousy crime novel in Word -
when you are done, the people at the publishing house has to
typeset it before they turn it to the people who (physically)
produce the books.

I have never heard of Google-docs or how that could be used as a
programming and/or document-producing interface, but I don't like
web programming, web tools, or the like. I did Javascript, PHP,
CGI, etc., at school, and besides HTML/CSS (which isn't
programming) I don't see the point in any of that.
