No, Wordstar was never adequate.
It was a single buffer word processor, one document at a time. I could NEVER live with that. There were 8-bit DOS multi-buffer word processors based on emacs in those days, and that's what I used. Freely cut and paste from one document to another.
An added feature, not obvious at the time, is that they were "markup language" processors - no attempt at wysiwyg. Since I learned to visualize pages as I wrote them, embedding the markup as I wrote, writing in html just came naturally. I have never used a wysiwyg html tool, and I can't stand them. They're clumsy, and write junky code.
