I agree.  I've been with WordPerfect since version 4.1 (six years or so) and
have yet to find a reason to switch to anything else (except WordPerfect for
Windows when it's released).  Prior to using WordPerfect, I was an experienced
user of Microsoft Word, and Wordstar before that.  While I have seen other
products that have excellent features (such as Word's "undo" versus
WordPerfect's less powerful "undelete"), nothing else gets the overall job
done for me as well as WordPerfect does.  And I'm not alone in feeling this
way; we have about eight technical writers who are satisfied users of
WordPerfect (several of whom migrated to it from Word).

Note that this isn't a religious issue for me.  If somebody dictated that I
use a different word processor, I'd still get my job done.  But I would
become less productive and lament the loss of an old friend.
