Its an interpretation of what "reveal codes" means.  Yes, seeing paragraph 
marks and tabs visibly is essential and available in Word. Wordperfect added 
that feature in Version 6.0.  But "reveal codes" in Wordperfect shows far 
more information than is needed in Word.  Things like bold and underline are 
visible in the document with no need to see a leading and trailing internal 
"code".  How about things like table of contents marks?  I've seen lots of 
Wordperfect documents get tied up in knots because someone got the trailing 
TOC mark buried deep into the document text somewhere. Its very, very 
tedious.  I used to be viewed as a genius because I could decipher all the 
codes and fix a document that was hopelessly wrecked by errantly misplaced 
codes.
Every single one of our support staff who anguished over the loss of "reveal 
codes" has long since forgotten what they were or why they need them.
By the way, the one single feature we miss terribly from WordPerfect is the 
ability to put portrait headers and footers on a landscape oriented page.  
Landscape headers and footers are just plain dumb.
