It helps when your writing is qualitative rather than quantitative (in which case LaTeX and a more involved process can be adopted). It does not work "like Words", because it is very clear that it is _not_ WYSIWYG. It is also not an "editor", which is a term suitable for things like Kile. It is simply a document processor which is a LaTeX front-end, but the end-user need not know this. -- GPG/PGP ID: C0711BF1
