Of course, to some extent, this is Piper versus Cessna - depends on what you learned to fly, uh, sail

I have never had WP corrupt a file to make it unrecoverable in the way that Office apps do with some regularity.
I used to use WP back in the 5.1 days in DOS. Actually liked it a lot. I rarely use anything but the basic functions of a word processor, but MS Word is "supported" so I use it.
As to the corruption issue, if you're just using the basic functions of Word, you're far less likely to experience any corruption.
99% of my typed documents are actually in Outlook these days. The only Microsoft Office app I use with any regularity anymore is Excel. I just love Excel.
