Well, yes. Any text editor would make Word look like a clunky toy, because Word is a word processor. They don't do the same things, they aren't aimed at the same audiences, and they evolved different UI conventions because of that.
That nitpick aside: It being written in Python is nice, and the fact outlines give your document something like a DOM which is accessible in a Python object tree is nice. It might be possible to massage this into something almost as nice as macros for languages like C# or Java.
