Made it EASY to write full-screen editors. You had to have the
"Technical Reference Manual" to know all that stuff, however I did
have that ....

Fuck that. Wordstar had been available on CP/M for ages, and was better than vi.
So when it turned up on DOS everyone grabbed a pirate copy. 'joe' emulates it these days for Linux
I think for office work word perfect was probably the best editor ever designed. Just smart enough and not too smart
I agree ... WP is the best. The M$ stuff just keeps
getting more stupid.
Its still available for linux somewhere
https://archive.org/details/corel-word-perfect-7-for-unix-linux-7.0-1998-06-english-cd "WordPerfect 7 for Unix/Linux is a "character based" word
processor that is very similar in functionality to WordPerfect
5.1 for DOS."
The text-based WP was good, a GUI version would be
better for today.
