Once I had a friend that asked me if I can modify a page of a WooCommerce web app. I wasn't able to find the text of this page anywhere and if I was trying to edit that in WordPress, the page in edit mode didn't look even 5% close to the final result. After one hour going around to edit one word on one page, I gave up.

This is most likely related to the Theme that he was using. One drawback of WordPress and WooCommerce is the loosely opinionated ecosystem where each plugin/theme might end up offering different ways to accomplish the same goal. WP definitely needs some time to get used to, sometimes getting used to a new theme is like switching to a different ecommerce platform.
