I think Emacs could not be 'like' Microsoft Word in this way, without
introducing a crushing maintenance load. WYSIAIG-alike behavior would
involve imitating whatever UI elements are popular this decade; ribbon?
flat design? Whatever. These are just as important to making it
"easy for them to use" as any nuance of rendering; but if the rendering
is not exactly correct too, people are alienated.
