...Word is not part of the solution, it is STILL part of the problem.
You know you can also program using notepad. But why on earth would
you want to limit yourself by using an inadequate tool?...

Unless Suzette tells us "why on earth" her company is considering Word, we
can only guess.

There are certain advantages to using an application that almost the entire
business world uses. This list has already seen a post from a skilled writer
who threw his company into a tizzy when he left, taking with him the
company's sole knowledge of FrameMaker.

This is not to say that Word is "better." However, it is possible that
intelligent managers who care about good documentation can still make a
well-considered business decision to choose Word over FrameMaker for their
particular needs.

Yes, and a highly trained engineer can do the same. By an extension of your argument, the secretaries of a company can do the documentation.
