Wordstar was a very good word processor in its day, but that day was an awfully long time ago. Its biggest challenge was that it had to support all the different models of printer itself, rather than relying on printer support in the operating system, as modern word processors are able to do. I well remember the enormous floppy disk installation sets of Wordstar - almost all of them printer drivers.
It wasn't difficult to learn. The company I worked for used it as its main word processor for years, and I don't recall anyone having any great difficulty in using it.
