Open Office and Foxit reader for me.
In college I came so very close to having a..incident..involving a networked computer running Word Perfect 2.11’s “justify” feature...no jury in the land would have convicted me!!!!
Open Office, nay. Performance is a joke.
The original version of Word Perfect for Windows had an auto-save feature that was enabled by default. One day I was working on a project that I'd spent nearly 2 hours on, saving it on a regular basis. Then something happened, and WPfW managed to corrupt my document. Before I could stop it, the damn program managed to overwrite the last good save I had!
So I know what you mean.

OpenOffice is just brillant. If I ever end up with a computer without MS Office, it’s OpenOffice for me.
As far as your college experience, I started work with a network terminal. Luckily I only had it a few weeks before the guy one up from me in seniority burned out, and I got his desk and OS/2 equiped computer.
