Well, I have not used Word for several years, but I do use Nisus (but
not for much longer, if the new version doesn't get out the door soon!).

Some of Nisus' more interesting features:

User settable number of undo/redo levels
10 clipboards
drawing layer (e.g. a simple draw package built in)
partial XTND support (you can use XTND, but Nisus doesn't come with
	it, or any translators -- specifically no Nisus translator!  this
	is a real pain when you want to export from Nisus into some other
	package).
Really powerful macro package
a non-functional outliner (implimented in the Macro language, but
	too slow to use)
a very nice spell checker (one of the better ones that I have used)

+C
