A dearth of choices
Though I'm a MS Word user, I'd dearly love a word processor that's more oriented toward the needs of a fiction writer. MS Word has many features fictioneers don't need or want, and at times they obstruct the things we DO need to do.
The problem is made more complicated by MS Word's dominance. It's the word processor of choice for the overwhelming majority of users, and has become a de facto exchange format, at least in Word 97-2003 format. So whether we like it or not, we pretty much have to have it...and why would anyone want two incompatible word processors?
