No joke. It was one of the first apps I used and in non-European languages its leaps and bounds ahead of most of FOSS today that can't even do RTL right, let alone letter merging etc. And doc files work perfectly with all the modern editors too.
WordPerfect 5.1 user here. Nothing comes close on the terminal
- Groff + Mom + jstar maybe.
