As to word processors suitable for the general user, my vote is for
Microsoft Word. While, like most everyone on our Planet, I'd like the
proverbial "free lunch," I don't expect to get one. However, I found I can
get MS Word to give me the text I want to type almost always. But when I
use Writer, I keep getting something I have to constantly diddle with to get
it to appear in the form I want. And, if I want something fancier than
simple text, I can get that too with MS Word. I'd like Writer fine if only
I could sit down at my computer & prepare a document using it without
constantly undoing all the things built into Writer that I've never figured
out how to turn off or to modify. Of course I had to pay a somewhat steep
price to get a WP that served my needs, but my time is valuable to me too,
so the ease of use & the reliability of MS Word seems well worth the cost in
the long run.
Best wishes,
