I'm kind of confused by you saying you want it to be "more feature rich" but then saying you want to "type on it basically." Which sort of "features" are you looking for? Are you in a specific professional field - legal, medical, academia, etc?
And what about compatibility with other users - is that an issue? Most basic features/formatting (margins, page numbering, fonts, etc.) can be converted from/to different formats pretty automatically, but when you start using features like indices, footnotes, tables, etc., things get messier and you have to do some-to-a-lot of manual clean-up when converting documents among different formats.
