Force of Nature

The last time I tried them both, one could be installed in pieces (i.e. I could install just the word processor) while the other made you install the whole kit'n kaboodle, or at least I couldn't find how to install it piecemeal. Forget which was which now. From a word processing standpoint, though, I found they seemed about the same.
My main problem with Word as it exists now is that paying a fairly hefty monthly sub for a product that I only use about 10% of seems like a fucking waste. As a word processor, it's no better or worse than others, but it's bloated with a lot of stuff I wouldn't use even at work. All I need for writing is a solid, stable typing platform with a spelling and grammar checker.
It really doesn't matter if you install the whole suite with either. They do not take up a lot of room and they don't do horrible things to your registry. MS Office, on the other hand, was huge and installed all sorts of shite if you weren't careful, like Outlook. It used to take me longer to pick what I did or did not want than it took to do the actual install from floppies.
My next-door neighbour used to have a kitten Kaboodle.

I use the submission form from the getgo, but I back it up periodically as plain text to my second favourite text editor, Kate. My favourite is NoteTab Pro, but it's only available for Windoze. I recommend LibreOffice over OpenOffice, although I don't use it much. My husband does, though.
