 [... a lot of stuff about the new WordPerfect ...]

I agree - after playing with it a bit, it is a tremendous improvement.
I did a lot of playing with columns, tabs, and graphics, and not once
did I have to look at the codes (if you've used 1.0 WordPerfect, you
know that's quite a statement...).

And a few more random observations:

One of the nicest features is that EVERYTHING is non-modal.  Even open
and save dialog boxes can be repositioned at will.

And the auto-flow around graphics will alleviate the need for
expensive DTP packages for those of us who only need basic page layout
capabilities.

It should give Microsoft a lot to think about for their next release
of Word.

And WP2 does GIFs, too....
