My current wordprocessor (as opposed to a simple text editor) is Word Perfect. No, its not perfect, but its better than everything else I've tried so far, including Open Office.
I would love to see a wordprocessor that worked as well as a text editor, and that could seamlessly handle unicode. I actually have a design for one somewhere, but I saw a statistic somewhere that editors are the most common Open Source project, and most are stillborn, and I don't want to be another statistic.
Just looked at nvu. All it does is HTML. I want something that can edit structured documents and output the result in HTML, pdf, and any number of other formats.
I certainly don't want the storage format to be HTML. HTML is just too broken.
