I think intuitiveness is often overrated. Wordstar was about as intuitive as nothing, but once you learned how to use it, it was extremely fast and efficient. That said, I was able to learn Claws pretty quickly. There is another thing about "intuitivety" (if that's a word) ... what it usually really means is that the software is like something you already use and have learned (not intuited) in the past. >> As for LibreOffice, in my opinion it's superior to Microshit Office.

I found out that (for Windows machines) Lotus SmartSuite 9.8.1 is available on Archive.org (the TuCows archive subdivision of the site) as freeware/abandonware. This version has the fixes so it will work on Windows 10 and down. I liked Lotus WordPro a lot. I might even see if it will run under Wine. Also includes 1-2-3, Organizer, Approach (maybe a couple other applications – I just used WordPro). -- The more I see of Windows, the more I like Linux.
