The software has some obvious bugs, but it did what it advertised. I could only convert at "160 - Very Low" or below (by the way, on a related note, 160 does not seem Very Low to me at all, but I guess the dev feels differently). If I tried "192 - Low" or above, it returned an AppleScript error on initialization. However, it did the job fine once I worked out these bugs.

I had MS Office on my 13" MacBook before the hard drive failed (shame, really). I've had to use TextEdit since then, and have on many occasions thought about using a free word processor instead, but decided against it because I didn't think there were any good ones out there that would do much more than TextEdit.

Clearly, I was wrong.

Bean has completely changed my view of things, and I would never go back to MS Word now. I just love the interface, the Inspector, and the freedom it gives me. Five stars for sure.

Dev: If you could make a spreadsheet app to go with Bean, I'd grab it in a heartbeat. The only thing I miss about Office now is Excel. Ah well, I suppose...
