I think the general attitude is that new users love it, techies despise
it. So it's good that it's there, as long as you can easily turn it off
(I don't really know, I've never used Office 97).

OTOH, even experienced users could make use of automatic passive
assistance from time to time. It's just a matter of implementing it in a
non-annoying way.
