Pity WriteRoom moved on, in my opinion. It has way too many features these days. Rich Text is a waste of time, for me, but I guess I can understand why some people like it. I also much preferred the "file-less" mentality of the original. You just never had to worry about your stuff or where it was located.

Would someone please tell me what's "not Leopard compatible" about this program? Aside from the bad choice of key bindings to go to full screen (something you only need to access once, from the menu), I can't see any problems with it.

I hate that the developer decided to start charging for WriteRoom. I actually helped popularise it when it was still free.

Don't forget BlockWriter.

The current version (1.0) is Universal Binary.
And it's completely free.
