love the style of this. As the blurb says its aimed at writers, not techies and for my money this hits the spot. Everything's visible so nothings hidden away in a menu. The margnal notes aren't perfect but its the first time I've seen this even attempted. Best of all its just so easy to write with, which sounds obvious but some programs I've looked at manage to make it complicated to actually write your text !
My G4 copes with the auto-save feature for chapters up to about 8000 words (haven't tried anything bigger).
The notes drawer is great because you can stuff in anything anywhere (as you do !) and then tidy it up later. One problem, though. It seems to be impossible to create new categories in a new document (its fine when you close the document and open it up the next time).
I hope the next release provides a few more features; I'd love to be able to highlight text. Also I'd like the chapter titles to be in bold in the formatted view.
