Gotta love Charles Stross. I really share a lot of his feelings about Word but moreso back when I had to make the switch from Wordperfect (not the horrible GUI version but the one that killed Wordstar)
I also use Scrivener.
My main way of judging a word processor is how easy it is to handle chunks of text - storing random ideas, rearranging in composition etc. and how well it otherwise stays out of my way. (let me write the damn document then we'll talk about spelling and I seriously doubt the bot knows more about style and grammar than I do)
I stopped using Word about 3 or 4 ribbon bars ago (I hate those a lot) Gotta say Google is becoming more and more my friend, between OpenOffice and Angular.js ...

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
