Somehow, I find the MS word UI even more impressive. You can edit the page, move blocks around, and so on! Pretty well done for something that has no application at all.

Most of the heavy lifting comes with contenteditable, but it is impressive nevertheless.

Wow! I am a frequent visitor of HN and did not know such an awesome feature existed. Wonder why is it not used so often?

Don't get too excited. Its cross-browser support is a mess that makes getting HTML 3.2 layers work to on IE4 and Netscape feel like a party.

It is used often. All the WYSIWYG editors out there use it.
