So not supporting pasting from Word at all, and then forcing Word users to learn something like markdown (no easy feat for the average computer user) is better than supporting pasting from Word in most cases, and letting them edit with a UI that they're familiar with?
I've gone the markdown route in the past, but recently also put a WYSIWYG editor in a project. The client was insanely happy that he and his employees didn't have to deal with teaching/learning markdown and converting Word documents to markdown anymore. Pasting just worked.
