This is ambiguous, but in your opinion ...
Which is better for a user today? For example: Although I have WP 5.1
for DOS, someplace, text transfer should work with AW5, AW5 is (far?)
more popular, both seem pretty responsive to me, but WP 2e screen
operates in text WIZIWIG, WP 2e has reveal codes, the WP gs and WP 2e
are compatible while AW5 and AWgs are not (think).
AW5 is a package with SS and flat file DB nearby.
I don't know about the Macro capability of AW5 vs WP 1.1. I assume the
1.1 is more of a keystroke recorder thing. Is the Aw5 w/ UltraMacro
(?) more full featured (like branching).
How stable is WP 1.1?

It's fun to see WP working well with the 2e - amazing.
Actually, AW3 plus UltraMacros was much more popular than any of
the later versions. They came too late and offered too little for
the cost to most users who already had fully TimeOut-enhanced AW3.
I've always viewed this as a great example of fragmenting a declining
(AW) market, which actually accelerates its decline. After all, if
you're going to switch, why not switch to something on the upswing?
The introduction of the IIgs into the Apple II market is another
example of this--"too little, too late".
