Seconded! When WP was "windowised" to WP6 it lost a lot which has never come back. In particular, proper printer handling of international characters is one: WP6/7/8 has only one font for all these, different from the fonts for ASCII/iso-Latin1, and it looks awful (if it works at all). A candy GUI is no substitute for doing a proper job (though I have to admit that the WordPerfect GUI is better than the Word Imperfect one). If I could get WP5 for UNIX up on Linux I'd run for it!
