I'm going to keep it as long as I can. It's not often that I use it, but it can't be beat for quick one-off things where I need font formatting (Notepad can't) like address labels or recipes. I use Libre Office for its spreadsheet, haven't really tried the word processor, but I totally do not need a full fledged word processor for that stuff.
