Wordstar and Wordperfect were easier to use imo.

I still remember the inconveniently tall keyboard templates (e.g. https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&hl=en&source=hp&q=wor...) for WordPerfect to tell users where all the function were. Give me the ribbon bar anyday.

They also missed a lot of features. And IMO not needing the 'reveal codes' screen and having to clean up markup codes manually is the reason Word won the wordprocessor 'war'.
