To me the real thing if LibreOffice or BookMaster (z"l). I used to call 
WordPerfect WordPervert until I had to use ms office. In particular, 
cut-and-paste of items in lists is horribly broken.

Makes sense to me.  I use the same reasoning whenever I buy a new PC and shell 
out actual money for a copy of Office Pro.  The lookalikes (my sister swears by 
Open Office, for example) may ~say~ they're fully compatible.  But when I 
supply a solution to a client I'm unwilling to risk it; it's gotta be the real 
thing.

Interestingly, Tom himself always had Attachmate at the ready on his 
workstation when I couldn't be bothered. His reasoning: since it was the 
corporate standard, he needed to able to handle problem calls.
