Very amusing! I was just reading an article that suggests well-known authors like Anne Rice and George R. R. Martin still use WordStar, for goodness’ sake!

Personally, I think WordPerfect was the best DOS-based word processor ever. I remember producing a 150-page software manual, complete with illustrations, box-outs and marginal notes, in WordPerfect 5.2 (on a Toshiba T1200 laptop) back in the day.
