Microsoft Word for Macintosh 5.1: the apex of word processing?
I remember lots of people hating it at the time. Too bloated and slow. I let those arguments convince me to buy WriteNow, the lean and fast word process that didn't do half of the stuff I wanted. I went back to Word 5.1 and stuck with it for ages. Looking back, Word 5.1, which came on half a dozen 800K floppies, was pretty darned close to perfect. Word 6.0 was abonimable. Since then I've done most of my writing in HTML, and mostly use Word for generating fax cover sheets.
