From a work standpoint, we run Office 97. So when I get an Email with an attachment, this is what happens:
I open Outlook97. I open my Email which uses Word97 as its editor. I see a WP attachment, so I click it to open it, which runs WP. I now have 3 topheavy proggies running on my PC which bogs everything down and causes my PC to crash often. (Mind you my system isn't the best to begin with.) If we all used Word here, we could fully utilize that funky Outlook/Word option where you just open your Email and it's automatically formatted the way you need it to be.
From a personal standpoint, I've been using Word since 1993, back when I had a Mac Color Classic. I know how it works, I know how to find commands, it's easier for me. Perhaps if I'd used WP for as long, I'd be more comfortable with it. Perhaps, no, I *would* be. I suppose it's just personal preference.
I say, go with whatcha like, spiderg...the point of having these to begin with is to make your life easier. It'd make my life easier if I got rid of WP is all.
And I don't hate WP, I hate zucchini. Blecch!
