      Me: hits return.

      Word: “Sure, here, a new line. I already indented it for you, same as the one before. Like a good IDE.”

      Me: “That’s nice of you, Word, but I want this one to be indented one tab stop less than the line before.” Hits delete.

      Word: “Delete, you say? Sure, back to the line before.”

      Me: “No, no! Just delete one tab! Maybe, if I select the line and hit dele…”

      Word: “Why of course!”

      Me: “Shit, it’s gone. Undo! Hmm… Move the thingy here on top?”

      Word: “Move all the lines you say? No problem!”

      Me: “Nvm, I’ll just indent everything by hand with spaces.”
