I think that 80-20 rule applies well to word processing software. Majority of people are writing letters, job applications, specifications, etc. Another words, smple texts with titles, subtitles and paragraphs. Majority of people don't create their own styles, don't include mathematical formulas, don't link documents, don't write books, etc.
Many people are annoyed with automatic bullets and numbering and some other things that are there to make their life easier. They are lazy to learn a little bit more about word processing software. Pardon me, I should have said "We are lazy....".
So 80% people do use same 20% of functionality, indeed. Wordpad included with Windows, only with text justification feature added, that would be Tao of word processing...
