Hi.
Well, the Wordperfect for Linux had several problems. One of the major 
reasons they didn't make enough of a prophet off of it, and why it failed 
is the wrote the installer to work on Corel Linux and Debian only, and you 
couldn't install it on say red Hat.
They also had some deal going with Lokhi  Games, and when Lokhi  went bust 
Correl 
decided to pull there Linux products. Including Wordperfect 9.0 which had 
just come out, and which was suppose to feature an installer more 
compatible with Red Hat Linux.

As for it's accessability it was written using Motif which is alot 
moreaccessible  than most gui toolkits.
