"CVAlkan":

When WordPerfect 5.x arrived, there was even the ability to display a
graphic preview (almost WYSIWYG) display of the printed output on a normal
character screen - and this was available not only for DOS versions, but on
a wide variety of platforms such as the then popular DEC and DG terminals.

You are trying to defend a text processor which stores text in a proprietaryencoding in the obscured format. Comparing to this, MS Word which used easyand open file format was a clear winner.
