Err ... my wife, actually.
She has a couple of decades (almost) of legacy lit. in WP; only in the
last month has she started to look at OOo.  (And then, only
desultorily.)

Writers who mainly produce single-sheet flyers etc. aren't going to care
too much about changing major apps; those who produce 400-page indexed
and annotated volumes are going to think a lot more carefully before
shifting.

As for me, I still run 'em all.  (Still playing with Wordstar stuff, at
times.)
