An open source application is one that you have access to every line of code. If you have the expertise, you can modify it in whatever way is necessary for your own purposes, rather than bartering with a vendor to get changes implemented second-hand.

... properly⁷

People quite often learn to use Word by trial and error without instruction. They seldom know how to use templates or the styles they contain. When they want to have something in a different font or size, they apply that change from the tool bar, instead of applying a standard style to the text. Some Word users seem addicted to the space bar: instead of setting tabs appropriately, they achieve their indents through the use of multiple spaces. Word documents often contain revisions, highlighted text and complex section breaking. This kind of formatting makes programmatic chunking very difficult.

... misused¹⁷

Many people learn Dreamweaver by using it, without any training. Like Word, Dreamweaver has many buttons and widgets that are convenient, but don't result in very good or consistent HTML. For example, someone may have extensive experience creating Web content with Dreamweaver but not have a clue about using templates.
