Why is this so difficult? We had styles in Wordstar on CP/M over forty years ago. I don't remember it being difficult.


Dumbfuck-oriented design. As neilv's comment[1] puts it:

> The Microsoft Word way has always seemed to support styles more like they were grafted on as an afterthought, without wanting to disturb the least-knowledgeable users, to the point that knowledgeable users have to tiptoe around all the UI that breaks styles.
