Oh come on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_novelty

I used the MS-DOS WordPerfect 5.1 for years, and it's a true thing of
beauty. I could use WP51 to do things I could *never* do in MS Word,
LyX or that horrible OpenOffice. The only problem I ever found with
WP51 is under certain circumstances I don't perceive, it screws up page
numbering on the table of contents.

U mean Dosbox or Freedos, don't you? WINE is overkill for a MS-DOS
program.
