Believe it or not, when I started to learn programming I had no idea that "plain text" was a thing, since I had only been taught Word at school. So I think this is very valuable for many people who work in tech adjacent areas.

Now I feel physical pain every time someone sends me documentation in Word format since I know there are at least five diverged versions floating around, with no easy way to compare them (Word diff is stuck in 20th century), full of embedded diagram PNGs that are impossible to update unless you were the author and inconsistent styling on top of that.
