I'm sticking with Word 2003 (well, except for on the Vista machine at home where I have Office 2000, because that's the one I have discs for; 2003 came installed on my laptop & is on the work computer). If work ever "upgrades" to '07, I may quit.
I'm very familiar & comfortable with Word, but I'll sometimes use Abiword because it's small & portable; I can run it off a small flash drive. I'm looking at some of the author-specific software rather than a general word processor; while I do use almost all of Word's features sometimes, I don't use them for normal writing. (For designing character sheets? I use text boxes and objects and word art and tables. For lists of links online, I use mail merge. But for normal writing, a very simple processor would be better; I don't need the distraction of all those other features.)
