My "favorite" is the language-savvy automatic formatter that doesn't
let you write approximate outlines then go back and clean them up,
but insists on immediately fleshing out everything while you're
typing. To some extent MS Word does this (by default in its newest
editions); ever try to highlight exactly a particular word or phrase
only to have the "smart" editor suck in the adjacent spaces as well?
I think in the long run time would have been saved by not having such
"help".
