Google introduced Docs, I haven't used a local word processor at all.
Though, I do keep Abiword installed just in case. Gedit and vi see
some use for editing plain text files. Just after OpenOffice became
available I used it to create a "power point" presentation. It was
nearly unusable. The resulting files were so large that it just
wouldn't work on my hardware. However, it did just fine opening
existing Power Point presentations. I hear it's gotten better.
There was a major overhaul released this week. Big, big improvements.
All a really *need* from MS Office now is one particular function in
Excel: The ability to export preformatted plain text. So I'm keeping
Excel 97(!) and dumping everything else.
