Actually, when it comes to just plain composing/editing text I think vi
(or emacs if that's the way you swing) are better. Then paste it into
Scribus for layout. I'm really not sure where OO falls into things. The
more I learn and agree with the idea of separation of
content/presentation the less need I see for a word processor which is
really stuck in a nebulous middle-ground where it does neither
composition nor layout very well.

I really wish more applications would implement vi style key bindings.
There needs to be a libvim which you can call from your app which will
give all of vim's wonderful text editing abilities to your text editing
widget so we don't have to suffer with crummy editing in our GUI email
applications, web browsers, word processors, etc. This has long been a
complaint of mine, ever since I started entering a lot of text into web
apps.
