Word Processors…
I'm curious what word processors people use. In the past I've used various incarnations of MS Word and WordPerfect, but I've since gone open source and went to OpenOffice.org and now LibreOffice.
For those that are unaware LibreOffice is a fork of OpenOffice.org. The Document Foundation, the organization that is responsible for developing LibreOffice, formed after a large portion of the community that developed OOo left due to a dispute with Oracle (the company that owned the intellectual rights to OOo). LibreOffice has a quicker development cycle than it's cousin and it's already implementing some long-sought after features.
Oracle donated OpenOffice.org to the Apache Foundation and it shows little signs of life.
I prefer LibreOffice because it's free and, like most web-browsers around these days, it's capable of using extensions to expand it's features.
EDIT: I've been eyeing Liquid Story Binder for some time. After giving it a whirl last night, I'm not sure I like it. Scrivener for Windows is supposed to be released today. I'll be downloading a trial as soon as it's available and testing it out.
