Interesting, I used to use word processor that aren't cloud based, but many years ago I've lost to many of my writings due to crashes or power loses, do that when I finally discovered cloud based word processors it was like magic to me, because it didn't crash and if I lost power I didn't lose any of my work!
Save for rare cases, I'm really content with the Apple apps: Pages, Numbers, Keynote. And I love the Apple document management. Document always saved and versioned.
If I had to go back to Linux, and if it were an option (which it’s not), I’d pay $300 without hesitation, to have all Apple’s office-like and other “bonus” apps on it. They’re my top choice in practically every category, when outside factors aren’t deciding for me (it’s usually MS or Google crap, when that happens—man, I hate Google Docs)
LibreOffice (and MS Office) have had automatic saving for several years now. If the program crashes or your PC loses power or whatever you won't be losing your work.
Now i don't really need these that often but it is still one of the programs i have installed on my PC since the OpenOffice days.
Also FWIW i avoid anything web-based as much as i can. I prefer software that runs on my own PC, as a desktop app whenever possible.
