On the other hand, if you look at those 8 bit word processors, the reason why PCs were considered "serious" is quite apparent. Going from a C64 word processor to e.g. early versions of WordStar is quite a jump. After that, not a lot of really interesting things happened in that area. Embedding tables and collaborative editing maybe. (Although I haven't worked with a C128 WP, the 80 column mode should at least bring graphical fidelity to the same high level…)
