As a professor of biology, I would have to argue this point because it doesn't run on linux. Moreover, just because many journals accept *.doc (but most not *.docx) manuscripts doesn't mean that this is the editor of choice. For me, I keep all my manuscripts and research in a svn repo so Word/Excel documents are relatively useless. Oh, and Excel sucks and it only takes a few days in my Population Genetics course for students to realize it is a liar.

Well, if you have a name such as I do, Rodney, it will autocorrect it to Rodent. Very nice feature to keep me scorned, ashamed, and somewhat reluctant to enter society as a full human. So, I learned to code, and guess what? ispell in emacs (the one true editor) does the same thing so I can't blame M$ for it. Perhaps Rodney Allen Ripley just wasn't a big enough hit back in the day to make it in the default libraries...
