I went from a typewriter to a text editor (first ed, then vi) and text formatter (nroff/troff) in Unix. And, later, I kept up with vi (Stevie) on an Amiga. I still use a text editor (nowadays Vim) when I'm in a hurry to get as much text down as quickly as possible -- it's easy enough to pull it into a word processor when my "brain dump" is through.

I'm using LO 4.4 right now. Because of my background, I'm happiest when the word processor does as little as possible.

But, I find that I do like LibreOffice a bit better than OpenOffice.
