Several years ago, I used Intergrief for 2 years. It had the most cumbersome GUI of any DTP application I have ever seen. It required selecting as many as 8 levels of child menus to do anything. It did have a couple of nice features, but not enough to make me ever want to use it again. In fact, given the choice between Interleaf /Quicksilver and Word, I'd choose Word. Now .that. ought to tell you something. :-)
