I loved working with both, WP 5.1 and WordStar. I moved to Unix
totally and started using Joe, which I loved until I started learning
Vim (a hell to learn, maybe, but easy and fast once you understand its
way of functioning and change your mind). Together with TeX for
processing documents (articles, books, letters, posters, slides) and R
for statistics, mathematics and graphics, is a beast. I doubt I will
ever switch to a different editor.

(Incidentally, where I used to work I knew
several touch-typists who
swore by WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS. Evidently they didn't find it
"clumsy" at all. Then again, I found it an incredible pain to use...)
WordStar is wired into my hands. Even on *nix, I use Joe because of
the WS keyboard mappings and "work-alikeness".
