That depends on user's way of work, I suppose: I tend to avoid any
kind of direct formatting and use styles and "numeric menus" (like
image positioning) instead, because using the mouse _seems_ to be
easier, but at the end of the day it is not.
I have rulers disabled on Writer.

Tools -> Autocorrect options is also present on Writer: You only have
two entries for the same thing, and both of them make sense.
