Indeed MS Office can be a pain the neck, but I haven't found a better product in the same market category (i.e. desktop WYSIWYG office suites)

That's not because MS Office is great. It's because it's really capital-intensive to build an office suite, and no VC is going to fund you to compete with MS.
There are competitors today and there were others in the past.
