After I discovered OpenOffice and Neooffice I started using Nisus Writer Express less and less to the point I forgot I even had it. At least until I upgraded to an iMac and version tracker showed me every piece of software I still had (unused or not) in need of an update.
Coming back I have to ask does this program even have a purpose anymore? OpenOffice and Neooffice offer so much more for far less of a price. IMHO time has passed this program by.

I used Nisus years ago in the pre-system 10 days and loved it. I had quite a few problems with Nisus Writer Express though. I found it unusable. It had lots of bugs. It would place spaces between anything using the ' symbol, such as "Kevin' s." Tech support never answered my requests. Now I find it hard to swallow that if I want a version that works with Leopard, and hopefully fixes the bugs, I need to upgrade to 3. I also have a family license for which there is no upgrade path. I hate Word but it looks like I'm back to it.
I have gone for clean, mean and fast simplicity in iText Express which is free, or the big brother upgrade iText Pro '08 [US$15]. Both are absolutely brilliant fast and easy to use, the way mac programs used to be. No wonder you'll find the users who have discovered them raving about them.
I use them to store all sorts of media, hold website clippings, do DTP to pdf, manage my links and DLs etc and am still finding new uses for them.
That is all cream on top of the best word processors money can buy (in the case of iText Express, none necessary).
Do yourself a favor, shake off the old clutter and get true Mac word processing back on your desktop.
