Its a real credit to the X community that there are a number of very nice
public domain graphing and drawing utilities, which in many ways are as good
as commerical software (and in a key way better -- source!).

Are there also PD X wordprocessors of some sophistication, that would appeal
to people used to commerical wordprocessors (word, wordperfect, ..)? 
Personally I use text formaters (troff,TeX) and wouldn't know a good 
wordprocessor from a bad one, but the question seems to come up.
