I don't like "what you see is all you get" word processors either. You end up having to do a bunch of low level screwing around anyway, unless you want to implement your overall document style by doing a bunch of point and click stuff over and over again, and it's hard to share style sheets and the like. If I ever found a GUI builder that was good for more than "properties boxes" and a word processor that's good for more than memos maybe I'd change my tune. I'm still waiting.
