That's what I'm concerned about.  I hate seeing anything so money-dependent
like what's happening in Dos/Windows/Others world happens to the linux
community in the future.

Yes....In fact, in terms of the needs of having a good wordprocessor, I
believe a raw-looking Emac or more fancy-looking Nedit should do the job
already.  There's really no need to have so many fancy functions that
normal users don't really or even know the existence of those functions.
