[wplug] word processor suggestions?

[Zach Paine]

I definitely agree that LyX rocks.  I use it for a lot of my lab reports and 
what not, but I don't think it is the right choice for a word processor.  Lyx 
is great for creating extremely structured documents.  It lacks a lot of 
flexibility that word processors typically have as far as formatting, etc.
