But I wouldn't call it a word processor. To me it's nothing more than a
glorified text editor.


To me, a text editor uses a monospaced font, of a fixed size and
colo(u)r, and with no bold, underline, or italic;


...describes most common plain text editors. But not *glorified* ones!
Maybe only glorified editors do those things. :-)

and doesn't usually do word-wrapping.


My standard Ubuntu text editor, gedit, does word-wrapping. In the
Preferences, there is a choice: [√] Enable text wrapping
and also a choice for: [√] Enable automatic indentation (which is a sort
of justification). There are a few basic choices for Fonts & Colors as
well where I can choose any font installed (proportional, if I wish) and
color schemes, too.

With all the thousands of editors available, we could waste the entire day
looking for user choices, eh? Nah, back to sports... g
