My reason is that they abandonned the french localization long ago (there 
used to be a multilingual version, but the current versions seems to 
limit multilinguism to the spell checker, not the interface -- am I wrong 
anybody?) I suppose it shouldn't stop me, since 90% of my software is 
US/English anyways, but well...

I use AppleWorks too despite its terrible stylesheets and outline view. 
And Word, because I discovered word processing at a time when I didn't 
know what I was doing. My favorite version was Word 5.2a (the most usable 
one, once set to standard keyboard shortcuts and updated to open Word98 
files). Oh man, did I regret all the time and effort it took to master it 
and read 400+ pages manuals and books, when I discovered what real mac 
apps were like. Douglas Addams wrote an excellent piece on that matter.
