Useful but clunky

I was a big fan of this product several years ago, but it seems to be devolving and doing away with much of modern app design.

Theres no Preferences pane. Theres an auto-indent "feature," useless and extremely annoying for any non-coding application, that cant be turned off. Changing the font in one document will change the font of all other documents using that theme, meaning you have to create a new theme for every new document.

On the plus side, the option to universally change your background and font colors is wonderful. Highlighting the current line is wonderful. Typewriter scrolling is wonderful. The full-screen option is seamless and infinitely better than the ones packaged with Pages or TextEdit.

This is an application with a lot of great options, but its somewhere between a coders application and a writers word processor, and straddles the line uncomfortably. Its also, as far as I can see, the best option out there for a simple, relatively straightforward, small-size word processor.
