...and an equally as often, geeks will think they know what is best, even when they don't.
It's rarely a matter of taking easy over best. It's a matter of understanding that in many cases, easy is part of what makes something best, and other factors pass a clear point of diminishing returns.
I learned to code in the days before GUIs and IDEs, but I embraced both. They make me more productive, and allow me to better meet the business needs of my employers, and in the type of apps I write, any less-than-optimized code they generate is totally irrelevant.
For text document creation, in my book (hehe...book pun), WYSIWYG is King. Easy
IS best!
