That's an interesting observation.  Personally, I found the upgrade more
than worth the money.  For one thing, 3.0 is 32-bit clean, which means I
can actually use it under System 7.  Even if you don't use sys7, the new
Paragraph and Character Style Sheets are absolutely the BEST I've seen in
any word processor (I've used most of them).  Color support is also nice,
so that I can mark sections in different colors for later review.

Getting back to the original question, are you looking for a full-featured
program comparable to Word?  If so, take a look at the full version of NISUS.
It's got some very powerful tools but is fairly easy to use.  It's also
pretty fast, since it works in RAM.  If you don't need all those features,
either NISUS Compact or WriteNow 3.0 would be a good choice.
