I agree.  Everyone who sees it here thinks that it is great, but
unaffordable.  We actually get word as a site license for a reputed
$15 per machine.  Paying $500 for what is seen as an add on to a $15
word processor is not on.  We would like to include it in our
courses on how to write technical reports, but can't justify the
price.
