It sucks balls. But the main problem with it in my experience is that people use it to do things where powerpoint and excel would be much better. Fer example at work we have to present our project work on a one sheet document that the HR dept made in word. If you want to 2 pictures in you're stuffed, want to change formatting of a text box you're stuffed, make a graph you're stuffed.
Its shite. But still better than MS Project.

Sometimes I think that removing a lot of the auto-cleverness would make it a more straightforward, usable product.

But the professional programmer in me wholeheartedly agrees with your argument about VBA, even despite the fact I've always been a Microsoft guy
Publisher is miles better for creating anything beyond simple reports that are 99% text, but for actual writing, word is fine. If you're even considering doing anything that you'd normally use Illustrator or PS for then Word is absolutely the wrong tool. Same for excel - if you're writing more than 4 lines of VBA then excel is the wrong tool and you should almost certainly be using a database or proper bespoke software.
It's worth noting there are a HUGE number of people who have no idea how to work Word, which doesn't help.
