Well, the same is true for everything beyond the most basic tasks —
font-handling is no harder (and no easier) than, say, automatically
compiling and inserting a table of contents.<br>

There I could not agree more. But perhaps "inexperienced end users
that just need to write a document, possibly with a deadline" should
