Existing users, 
I have evaluated the program for the last three versions. I like the concept and the open ended demo is wonderful and demonstrates the professionalism of the company. I will probably purchase a copy soon.
I echo the feature requests of others, but I don't want word. I have Word and it is a pain since I have to format as I go. I just want the minimum when I'm trying to write. The tools I do want involve versions, split screen or dual windows and highlighting.
On thing that is a absolute must is export to Pages. While I can get my work into Pages I feel that it should have one click support. If a program exports to Word it should export to Pages. I think that Apples new word processor is just going to improve and I've already switched most of my word work to it.

Apple has not documented the specifications for their document format for developers to directly support without the possibility of it 'breaking' in the future. Additionally, they have chosen not to provide any Automator actions (as of the date of this writing) to at least give some alternative means of manipulating Pages to create documents directly.With that said, Pages can easily open RTF documents (as can Microsoft Word), which CopyWrite can export. You can then save as a Pages document if you make changes that only Pages can recognize (such as adding styles or using layout functions). There would be little gain in directly supporting the Pages format, which could change at any time (breaking any third-party applications' support), as Apple sees fit.
I hope this didn't sound too much like excuse-making. :-)
