I try to like it but… - Version: 3.1, 9/1/2008 05:21PM PST

…it has always been that bit odd and hard to use. The few outstanding features it had like non-contiguous text selection are available in virtually every Cocoa app now.
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.

Is there really a need for this? - Version: 3.0.2, 5/6/2008 05:05PM PST

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.

Using it on a new MBP 15 2.66 with Snow 10.6.2 & NWE lets you write.
You can customize as much as you need.
NWE gives you lots of features to turn out many types of documents.
However, the main theme remains - it is a joy to write with Nisus Writer.
