You're still not getting it. We use MS Word because the people who pay
us money for writing (and my wife also for book criticism) *demand* it.
That's what "cannot get along without it" means to me.

Additionally, I bought Word and Excel with my Mac Plus and have grown
rather accustomed to them over the past 30 years, warts and all (though
I have found few, if any, warts in Excel).

For my *own* purposes? TextEdit.
