Lotus 1-2-3 Release 5. That’s what I learned on for spreadsheets. Excel of the day was a let-down. Then everyone went to office. Meh. Word-Perfect was also much easier to use and better than anything Microsoft put out for over a decade.

WordPerfect STILL has better kerning and typography, and Corel has done little with the code.

Lotus 1-2-3 was superior to Excel in almost every way, particularly print macros.

Definitely. When WP went to Windows, it lost functionality.

Agreed. And for a while I leaned away from MS products. But I’ll admit that as far as programmer IDE’s go, MS Visual Studio has been the best for many years.
