It used to be a WordStar vs WordPerfect world.
Team WordStar on Osborne 1 here.
- postmodest 3y agoWordPerfect on IBM AT, checking in.
- markphip 3y agoI used XyWrite thru HS and College until eventually switching to Word for Windows. I think I did one paper on WordPerfect on the schools PS2.
- ngcc_hk 3y agoI am the one doing word processing software for my firm. Secretaries and typist like multimate more due to Wang heritage. The frightening scene of nothingness of wordperfect is … Word is a mac software as Microsoft is mainly an application software firm for mac and basic I suspect. Never evaluated that. As far as I remember the key combination of wordstar, the slowness of it due to I always found its keyboard mapping hard and with menu not enough space and even slower. Never a fan. I wonder how vim would work as a writer tool vs wordstar.
