“For many Linux users, vi or Emacs represent the perfection of
WYSIWYG word processing – what you see is ASCII text, what you get
is ASCII text. For the rest of the world’s computer users, however,
there is Corel’s WordPerfect 8 for Linux.”
“The application has a polished look and feel, and is highly
configurable. Users of Microsoft Office and other similar programs
should have no trouble adapting.”
“Perhaps the most significant praise of WordPerfect for Linux is
that it is on par with the word processors found on other operating
systems, which is evidence of Corel’s commitment to Linux.”
