Haven’t used latex for any actual papers but when it was pitched it became pretty clear it was for power users. I just assume it’s working like they want it to.

Also, word formatting has a few options to determine how the formatting should interact with text that even has little example icons for it. IIRC I just did wrap text and moved it around easily once I was finished other editing.

Not sure if this is what you want but this video has them voiced

There’s a similar one for vices.
