Is This The Best Word Processor For Real Writing?

A carpenter may have a crescent wrench somewhere in the tool box, but it’s not the main tool used to build a house.

If you write for a living, Microsoft Word is the crescent wrench to a carpenter. I like Word. I use Word. I won’t build a house with Word.

By that I mean that serious writing deserves a serious tool with specific functions to aid in the writing process, not detract from it. Word is a big, heavy, cumbersome crescent wrench.

Writers choose their words.... (excerpted).
