Productivity software in those days was horrible, for me. Maybe it's just
because I always had older and slower machines, but I stuck with text-based
word processor (WordPerfect 5.1) for quite a long time. The only WYSIWYG one I
liked was Word for Mac because you could turn off all those awful toolbars and
make your window just your text. The problem with that, though, was that Macs
sucked balls and would crash if you breathed wrong, so you always ended up
losing unsaved parts of your document.

I still don't really like most GUI word processors, but they're definitely a
lot better these days. Abiword was pretty good at one point, I wonder if that
one is still actively worked on. It was decently fast, and had Word Doc
support.
