I used to be a dedicated Wordstar user. For me, Wordstar Version 4 was the best version ever produced. It fixed the limitations of Version 3, while not overcomplicating things like Version 5 did. In fact, when I brought my first PC, one of the deciding factors was that it came with a Wordstar compatible word processor called "Easy" (a simplified version Wordstar made by the same company that made Wordstar).
As great as Wordstar 4 was, for me Wordperfect 5.1 for DOS is the best word processor I've ever used. There was little that I couldn't do with it, and once I got the hang of the keyboard commands it was very easy to use, and much easier to use than working with a mouse. To this day, I still tend to use keyboard commands rather than the mouse whenever possible.
