(Have you ever had a situation where you have to edit a bit of text where a word is in italic or has some particular style.

You end up deleting everything including every trace of that word and its style. Yet start typing on a now blank document, and it's still the wrong style!
Wordperfect had a Reveal Codes option that made it easy to exactly fix such mixups. I think it a tragedy that MS Word wiped it out.
