Hi S.,

Could it have been ‘Text processing vs word processors’ from Peter
Schaffter, the author of the troff mom macros.  It starts with

   ‘When you use a word processor, your screen persistently displays an
    updated image of the finished document.  Word for word, line for
    line, What You See Is What You Get.’

His -mom, have to be careful here, covers a lot of ground.
