Here's the thing most people don't know about SF writers (in general, of course, there are exceptions) - they tend to be technophobes, or at least very wary of tech.

I can't count how many famous SF writers use classic mechanical typewriters or surreal old computer systems like Kaypros or Osbornes (I'm not making this up..). Remember when J. K. Rowling got bent out of shape because the TSA stopped her from carrying her manuscript on a flight?

To be honest, I'm impressed she flies.. Asimov wouldn't.

So, do I care if a couple of SF writers don't like Word?

Not really.

I also don't get upset when the Amish tell me that using computers is a sin either...
