I have been using WordPerfect since version 4.0 first came out.  It is, in
my (and many others) opinion far from the worst word processor around.  It is
in fact, one of the best.  It is not, and is not intended to be, a programmers
editor.  But aside from that, it is powerful, has many, many features, and
seems relatively easy to use.  You learn what you need of it, if you are smart,
you learn some additional things that will help you (like using macros, merges,
etc), and ignore what you don't need.  The only other word processor I know of
that is somewhat comparable is WORD, and I hate that one.

I have used Library a little bit--it's nice, some of it's parts are really
nice, but I find it gets in my way.  On the other hand, I use a non-clone for
my calendar, roldex address list, modem program, calculator, etc., so I don't
need it.

I have not use Data Perfect but have heard good things about it.  I have not
heard or read of anything good about Plan Perfect and have read some quite
negative reviews.
