EDITOR NOTES
Check out this page for the complete list of differences between Ulysses and Ulysses core.
DESCRIPTION

Ulysses core is a unique text editor, which aims to give creative writers, novelists and storytellers the best writing experience available on any platform today. To achieve that, Ulysses core includes an innovative "tabbed" single-window interface, featuring integrated Notepads, a Document Browser, advanced Search&Replace capabilities and multi-document previews.

Additionally, Ulysses core sports sophisticated project management with advanced filtering features. This lets the writer focus entirely on content while aiding him in organizing the multiple parts of his work without forcing him into any pre-defined structure whatsoever. Developed exclusively for creative writers, Ulysses core lacks both the functional overload of traditional word processors and the developers-oriented approach of classic text editors.

Ulysses core was and still is on the forefront of text editing innovation: it set the stage for dedicated creative writing environments, pioneered the inclusion of the famous fullscreen mode (which is now standard with every other writing application on the Mac, see Pages '09), and also incorporates the unique concept of Semantic Text Editing. Using the powerful Tags and Markers, Ulysses core removes the hassle of formatting the text and lets the writer concentrate fully on the content of his text. Text formats and the like are left to the extensible, plug-ins based Exporter. Ulysses enables the user to export his project into RTF and Plain Text.

Ulysses core is the little brother of Ulysses, which includes a greater feature set. If you're writing a book, a thesis or anything of length, go and get Ulysses. It's the real deal, and you will never look back. But if you're a blogger, or any sort of freelance journalist, you should give Ulysses core a shot.

THUS.SPAKE.Z  Ok, then. Around $35, huh? That makes more sense. I feel much better now. The earlier $64 price tag that was listed, here, made me very upset.

PEACE!

THUS.SPAKE.Z  I checked this puppy out. It's quite nicely put together. I do like it. But $64?!!!

On Ulysses's website they say "Ulysses core is....more geared towards casual writers and those on tighter budgets."

So, if I'm on a tighter budget, and lots of folks are these days, I'm gonna shell out 64 shekels for this, even though it is nicely done? Oh, I don't think so!

Get a clue, Dudes, (and Dudettes?) and offer Ulysses core at a much more reasonable price point.

TALAZEM  It's actually 24.99 euros, less than US$35. I guess they haven't updated the pricing on MacUpdate; but that is the price on their own website.

MACGURU17  Yes, the price was accidentally listed wrongly. The full license is 24.99 EUR, which is about 34.91 USD at todays rate.

GAZMAN  Even the 'core' (=lite) version is nearly twice the cost of a Scrivener licence?
