I'm not sure how I feel about this, personally.
On the one hand, this is awesome for people who might actually still use this archaic piece of software.
On the other hand, it seems like a waste of resources that could be better spent on improving modern software.
- cbozeman 6y agoThat's sort of my feeling on this whole deal. You could design a word processor with all the features people loved in WP 5.1, that runs on modern software and hardware.

Secondly, its virtues are its blinding speed, small size and simplicity. All modern software is the reverse of that, especially the abominations of Electron apps. Thirdly, your clone couldn't be very close, as WordPerfect is alive and well and owned by Corel. Make it too close and they'll sue.
