  Oh, and another thing: You can do the work on a simple text file, meaning
that if you wanted, you could later edit the file with any other program you
like, rather than using a closed, proprietary file format that can only be
opened and edited with MS Office.

  Imagine if Photoshop only supported a closed proprietary image format to
do its job, rather than doing it on standard image file formats. Suddenly
Gimp would be a whole lot more desirable.
