Not really. WS has a proper system for applying styles to the text and has a much more usable way of marking and manipulating blocks of text. See this article for a review of WS that concentrates on the use of the control keys.
These days I mostly use Emacs and Org mode and rarely print anything but I wrote hundreds of pages of documentation with Wordstar on a Z80 CP/M addon for an Apple II in the early eighties and printed them on a daisywheel printer. In the late eighties I did a lot of Turbo Pascal programming for DOS, and later for Windows, and the TP editor used WS control key sequences, much more efficient than Visual Studio now where I have to move my hands away from the centre of the keyboard to find the home, end, and cursor control keys
