Why would people use Word?
- 'just works', everyone knows how to use it
- Local-first backups. Good luck trying to extricate your posts from WP's MySQL DB if the site breaks.
- Lots of active bloggers are from the Windows XP era when there weren't 'sexier' options like Google Docs
- Has a powerful version history and accept/reject change features, essential if you have a copy editor or your work has multiple authors.
