There will always be a need for an easy-to-learn way to create
documents.  Word processors are fairly good at that aspect, but
generally are limited in their capability (consider the popularity of
desk top publishing programs, which provide some extended capability).
No one has yet come up with an adequate way to create documents that
combines a WYSIWYG interface with the kind of expressibility that TeX
has.  As word processors get more sophisticated, they tend to more resemble
programming languages.  TeX (and troff) is one persons choice
of how best to make that trade-off; WordPerfect is another.  They fill
different needs for different users.  Both views are subject to
ongoing improvements.  I think that there will be some convergence,
eg. Vortex, but I'm not going to hold my breath.  TeX is well suited
to publishing books on mathematics, but many people find it convenient
for all sorts of documents.  WordPerfect is well suited to writing
business letters, but many people find it convenient for all sorts of
documents.  Why is there any need for pistachio ice cream, when vanilla is
far more popular, and meets most people's needs?
