AbiWord: Like MS Word but Without the Junk
Word processing is perhaps one of the most essential uses for a computer on any platform. The Linux OS offers more obscure word processors than other OSes; however, few of these apps offer users the staying power of AbiWord.
The closest competitor to AbiWord is OpenOffice Writer, though AbiWord, like many other word processing apps in Linux, lacks a fully developed suite of programs such as spreadsheet and presentation apps that rival the functionality of OpenOffice. Still, it excels at processing words and is far ahead of other Linux writing tools.
Linux users can shuffle among word processors such as KWord, Ted and Maxwell, among numerous others. Often, the distinguishing factors with these writing apps are their feature sets. Many of them are little more than glorified rich text editors.
