I definitely disagree.  One of the consequences of the new front ends
to TeX (Overleaf here is one of the most striking examples) is that
there is no longer a real need for the monstrosity of word
processing.

In my exprience the users who recently switched from expensive and
bloated Office products to the Google docs are ready for another
switch to Overleaf.  This opens a lot of interesting prospects for TeX
for a casual user.  I am rather optimistic here.
