Enthusiasts through the history of computing have claimed that their favourite programme was easy to use and anyone could. I first met the lie in about 1981. When the schools introduced a word processor ( might have been called Wordstar) to staff, with precisely that claim. In reality a skilled admin was needed to do anything above the most basic, since formatting required confusing and complicated mark-up codes to be inserted. And that is not conducive to rapid typing -even assuming the teachers would or could learn all the fucking codes. Even the admins kept a list taped to their desks.
