wordstar was my absolute favourite, as both a word processor and a programming editor (before i switched to vi). the first copy i ever got, i had to patch in z80 machine code (with the supplied wordstar patch utility) to make the keyboard and display interfaces usable, which made me feel quite clever. this would have been early 80s.
