WordPerfect use to be favored my lawyers. This is a group that tends to stick to their tools. I dunno if their still using it but that's probably a pretty nice niche.

I recall reading that the reason it was (is) favored by lawyers was because WordPerfect did more accurate word counts in documents than Microsoft Word did. When lawyers submit briefs to some courts they have restrictions as to the maximum number of words contained in the document. Microsoft Word did things like count page numbers as words, thereby inflating the word count and reducing the number of actual words that could be in the document.
