WordPerfect was bundled as well, and so was FrameMaker. I still consider the NeXT versions of these to be the best of the lot, even though both were multi-platform software. I particularly liked that you could open a frame in FrameMaker and write some EPS into it, click out of the frame and it would be rendered as part of the document. This lent itself to great custom integration when used with Services (vastly underused and almost hidden in OS X) - you could write a script that spit back EPS and register it as a service. This is basically how the TeX service worked.
