Mellel ReviewLike a nicely designed car—with no brakes. - Version: 2.6.1, 2/7/2009 10:55AM PST

I completely agree with mark_de, for a word processor that is, admittedly, as feature rich and stable as Mellel, not to have the Undo buffer survive a save is absolutely ridiculous. On top of it all, the feature has been requested for years by not a few users. It's a shame, I used Mellel for a while and really wanted to like it—but the lack of persistent Undos was and, sadly, continues to be, a deal breaker.

Mellel ReviewTruly a class of its own - Version: 2.5, 8/29/2008 03:15PM PST

Mellel is not perfect: it has flaws and shortcomings, it still lacks some rather essential features, and existing features are not always perfectly implemented. And it certainly isn't the most user friendly of wordprocessors.

And yet, especially for writing long and complex documents, Mellel is absolutely invaluable: truly a class of its own. Solid as a rock, superb outlining, excellent crossreferences, very fast and very pleasant to use even with documents counting many hundreds of pages with thousands of footnotes. I have been working now with Mellel for over four years, and could not imagine my academic writing without it.

Besides Mellel, I own many other wordprocessors. I use them regularly for less demanding writing tasks, and like quite a lot of them. But if some cruel tyrant forced me to give up all my wordprocessors except one, that one would undoubtedly be Mellel.

Mellel ReviewStill no undo after saving, still not usable - Version: 2.5, 7/29/2008 10:27AM PST

The "undo"-function is still not available after you have saved a document.

So Mellel is probably the only word processor out there that should warn you when you launch it: "don't (!) save your documents too often, you may regret it"...
