I just gotta add my heat to the proff fire.  See I routinely use
Memacs from Workbench1.3 and proff.  I wrote a 105 page paper for
my wife using memacs and proff.  I like proff.  But it doesn't have
the convenience of a wysiwyg word processor so there is a place for
WordPerfect in my box of floppies.  

By the way, I recently used Microsoft Word 4.0 on an old I*M-XT
machine (4.7MHz) and the screen updates were so slow that scrolling
was literally a line per second!  And this is a top-rated package.
WordPerfect on the Amiga is not second-rate word processing.  It
may not be your favorite.  You might prefer ProWrite or Excellence!
or some other package.  That doesn't mean that the Amiga makes a
poor word processing platform.
