Could someone please explain what is meant when someone says,

"NeXT needs a *REAL* wordprocessor".

What is a *REAL* wordprocessor and what does it do that one of FrameMaker, WP,
or WriteNow does not do?  (add TeX to that list).  

I'm really curious.  I understand that NeXT does not have a native MS-WORD port
(although you can run it through executor if you want).  I also understand
that some people just love MS-WORD and have essentially grown-up on it.
While it is very nice, it is IMHO far from perfect.

Moreover, on a NeXT, any of the exisiting wordprocessors use DPS so you
truly get  what you see (much better than WORD, for example).  Also, the 
NeXT mail  makes working on complex documents over a network relatively
easy compared to most other machines.  You CAN do similar things on other
platforms, but it usually requires a lot of configuration work and additional
products.  Everyone who has a NeXT has NeXTMail.
