I've used several versions of Word: 2.0 (for DOS), 6.0 for WfW and 95, 1997 through 2019 (without skipping) and I like it as long as you play along with it. As Conrad mentioned, when too many hands touch a document, it becomes messy quite quickly.
Other curiosities that I used were Chiwriter (quite nice for the DOS PCs), LaTex, Wolfram's Mathematica... Then HTML, Twiki, MediaWiki, Markdown, Rest/Sphinx and I am starting on SDL Tridion/Oxygen. I never got into the Wordperfect bandwagon, but the irony is that I have a sealed copy here, bought last year on a large ancient SW package from a local guy.
Of all these, the one I absolutely love for online documentation (not printing) is MediaWiki. It also scaled quite well across many teams (tables were crap with it). Rest/Sphinx creates better structured documents, but it does not allow great formatting (IMO). Markdown is way too simple, but the way we used (an HTML file with markdown css wrappers) actually allowed a lot of flexibility with raw HTML (my boss called "hacking"). I would love to use LaTEX professionally, but it is simply a null ponter everywhere I worked.
