Never mind that, WP for MS-DOS. Nothing was intuitive aside from just typing text. Did you want to do anything other than just have plain text? Say… double spacing? Or italicizing a word? Have fun spending 5 minutes looking it up in the manual.
I worked at a recording studio/media duplicating house in the 1990s. Long after the Win 98 era, the boss insisted on keeping an MS-DOS computer around to print out cassette tape labels on a dot matrix printer using WP. It took literally years to convince him that we could just use the laser printer.
It didn’t help that we had a specialized CD label printer, so we weren’t printing out paper CD labels, so he always said, “well I don’t trust it!” Guy was a moron. For many reasons- not to make this post super long, but he had a chance to make a deal with Sirius (which merged with XM) before they even launched their satellites. What did he say? “Well I don’t trust them.” Unsurprisingly, instead of being a millionaire, the business is closed and he’s working some low-level office job.

The joys of working for a trust fund kid.
