The normal user still uses multiple spaces and newlines to format their documents instead of tabstops and pagebreaks. Doesn’t use automatic Table of contents or knows how to use sections to make the page numbers show up where they want. It doesn’t help, that the online version doesn’t support section insertion. I pretty much never use Word, but it’s an incredibly complex piece of software, people don’t know how to use. Even the elusive positioning of pictures isn’t all too hard if you know what anchors do.

With some tweaks to the flags you could recompile everything optimized to your hardware but now reproducible

Hate to break it to you: there is already a ribbon option in Libreoffice

My only gripe with it is that it’s a store app, meaning the path to the executable is very convoluted. So starting it via a powertoys shortcut is a hassle and I think only works for one specific version until the path changes

From what I’ve heard the lack of buttons is actually a cost saving measure, if you put in an infotainment system anyway

If your wages don’t go up with at least the rate of inflation, there’s an effective paycut every year

What I mean is for Headings to appear in a bigger size and so on, basically the difference between obsidian source and view mode. Also Not rendering Latex is a dealbreaker as well

Nice rendering of headings, bullet points, checkboxes, code blocks, images and so on. I know there is something available for vim if you are using a terminal emulator that supports displaying images, but as far as I know besides a language server for markdown helix can’t do that. If there is something I’d like to try it

Through technology we have become way more productive though. Every increase in productivity can either be used to better the standard of living (assuming that requires more work) or be used to lower the amount of time people have to work. I think the people that want to work just because they like it are a big enough portion of the world population to feed and house every single person on the planet. But instead, the increase in productivity is being gobbled up by a few people at the top. (see productivity / pay gap)
