Choose your weapon: Amigawriter2.2, FinalWriter97 or Wordworth7? Why?

I still use Protext on a daily basis ... It works for me when I need to write a quick letter or edit a text file  :-)

Too right! OpenOffice rules on the 'other' computer. M$ XP bloatware is only installed on it because I've never used Linux ... I really should investigate that side.

OpenOffice, at ~440MB, can't really be considered "thin".  Plus, the facts that it mangles about half the MS Office files it opens, and isn't nearly as powerful for actual business users, should be at least considered when dismissing Office because of "bloat".

I don't need a full install of OpenOffice so the 440mb comes down to approx 60mb (custom installs, don't you just love them). Plus all my letters are originally written in OpenOffice, so the mangled M$ Office files aspect you mentioned doesn't exist for me.

I'm a home user, not a business user and I consider my HD space a premium asset ...  even my XP is a 'lite' version - linky  :-)
