I agree. Did you know AmigaWorld prefers to accept articles in Textcraft
format? I haven't seen Charlie Heath's TxED, or Metadigms editor, but I've
used the public domain MicroEmacs, the Aztec 'z' editor, (a 'vi' clone), and
ED, of course. I did beta-testing for Micro-Systems Software Scribble! word
processor, and I didn't like it. It had some user-hostile features, but then
again, it wasn't a production version. As I wrote my beta-review, I realized
I was mentally comparing it to Textcraft… Scribble! doesn't use icons to
change modes, only pull-down menus, and is heavily based on dot commands for
formatting text. It does allow multi-window file editing. I just wish I had
an editor that could learn about my idea of 'paragraph', and be able to load
a file, regardless of CR, LF, or CR/LF pairs, and format it correctly as it
read it in, and then spit it back out in the same or any format. You see, I
write on IBM, Amiga, and a Model 100 portable. Three different line
terminators, and (n x m) conversion filters…
