First "threshold" apps? (Was: "First PC" and other nonsense

To me, the first that crossed the threshold was Michael Shrayer's
"Electric Pencil". (The PRE-CP/M version, not the TRS-80 or IBM PC
versions.)

For most on this list, it appears to be WordStar and VisiCalc.

To most of the rest of the industry, it appears to be WordPervert and
Lotus. Or is that now Mac and Windoze?
