AFAIK it was moderately successful in Europe in that role, especially in Germany. Calamus (DTP) was very popular for some time, also some CAD applications do exist. And it was quite popular as a word processor among students and people in academia, thanks to programs like Signum! or 1st Word plus.
Of course, it rather populated some niches while the PC was dominating in general.
