Some people use plain text. Some people using pen and paper. A great many people use Word/LO/etc. badly, and the result is of minimal difference to the mediocre quality HTML editors you are generalising* over. The point is that your craziness may be exactly what works for someone else. I try to remind myself that it's better not to rush to judgement on someone else's situation.
* I've seen some not bad HTML editors in specialist applications, making it is easy to see that better implementations are possible. For years I've had a design in mind, just no time to implement it, but I do already have the base component software available my language of choice, so the really hard part is already done, the rest is just wrapping some interface details around it. Of course, my choice is desktop based which is arguably crazy when everything else is moving to the cloud.
