Yes, it very much depends on the type of content you're editing. My take is that if you don't care about tracking formatting changes, you don't really need Microsoft Word - many other tools could do better.

However, when you're a professional copy editor of non-fiction publications, a substantial part of your work will consist of checking little details, such as making sure the titles of books, magazines, and articles are formatted correctly and so on.
