There&#x27;s likely still more than a little residual sting left from the era of WordPerfect 5.1, where there <i>was</i> a degree of sophistication (and sometimes enormous expense) that looked stable for a long time... then simply vanished. It&#x27;s been 20 years, but there&#x27;s something about the experience of having too much of your knowledge trapped inside machines you can&#x27;t (practically) use anymore that&#x27;s a little bit scary, and just doing the same thing with another word processor (that obsoletes its old files every now and then) isn&#x27;t something most people would look forward to doing. Things will get better, but memories have to fade and assurances need to be built first.
