Ted is a more feature full word processor, but it has known bugs in DSL.  I emailed the author of Ted yesterday, and it turns out that the crashing that the crashes we've been experiencing are a compatibility issue with Fluxbox.  

So, if you want to be safe switch to JWM before you do any word processing.  

Mark de Does (the author) said he is addressing the incompatibility, so, hopefully we have the fix soon.

Ted's file-open interface is enough for me to avoid it at all costs.
I don't have any fond memories for FlWriter either.

I'd vote for Pathetic Writer if we could figure out why it crashed for some users and solved the problem.

TED is more useful, but it takes up a lot of space.  Not as much as Abiword, for example, but it still uses a lot of space compared to the other "lightweight" candidates.

FLWriter is better in the size area, but TED's .RTF support is hard to beat.

ted has simply more features. I know it's uglier, since it lacks icons, but it's easy to use and has averything you need to write a report, an article, a poem.
