It's not that great, I've recently tried such a piece of abandonware as the Linux version of WordPerfect (never used it before, just digital archaeology), and the fact that you can show any part of the document as text with escape sequences is just wonderful. Not using it cause I need Cyrillic symbols (which doesn't work even with single-byte encodings like ISO8859-5 and KOI8-R, I do have the fonts installed) and UTF-8 (that could even be optional, but no).

But that's about modern formats more than it is about LO. They are too complex and Web-like (inside) for my taste. Everything is better than pre-XML Word formats, of course.
