In the early 2000's
We were told that we had to update all test editing and processing to WordPerfect because it could be used on a new PC and the VAX's ... we saw it as sucking until we'd been using WordPerfect for a few months and then we started to really like it! But then Microsoft Office was pushed out with all new PC's and the company abandoned WordPerfect and required that everyone switched to Word. Now I use both but still do all the default editing and manual creation in WordPerfect.
Corporate bosses make employees use apps that make the bosses look happy, but we just use apps that work well, keeping the "required" app in the background unless the boss is in the office.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
