So - smolka

I did not intend to throw some sand into your wide-open eyes...

Why Ulysses? As you already indicate, the fullscreen mode of Ulysses, which started the trend, is implemented rather nicely with a scrollbar fading away into the dark background;

There is the "typewriter" mode which, afaik, no other app has: you will never write at the last line of the screen, since the fullscreen editor moves upward. This is incredibly helpful (even though it may seem trivial at first sight, but to me it is not);

Ulysses exports footnotes in the "notes" section to LaTeX (and I am a LaTeX user; the developers say it can also export to RTF but Apple's OS prevents something here, I'm in no position to venture an opinion here).

I do agree that the lack of nested folders, or similar funtionailty, is serious. On the other hand, the developers have been so creative in the past (and have been copied by other apps as a result), that I have confidence in their ability to come up with something good. After all, you want to live in an app. I can live in Ulysses, but none of the other tools (except Tinderbox).

I would like stronger footnote support.

Personally, I do not need or want versioning. I'd get even more confused than I already am.

BTW, I also use Tinderbox, and I love it to bits. But Tinderbox does not support Unicode. And if you complain about the price of Ulysses, well,.....
