![]() BBEdit: A Bare Bones piece of software that they claim: “It doesn’t suck.®” That tagline I must admit was the reason I started using the program, I always found it to be good, but I never quite found it to fit my needs, plus the icon does suck and it is blue.The whole program just feels a bit off to me. MacJournal: Made by Mariner Software I always wanted to like this program, but it never stuck and I could never quite pin down why.Unfortunately the project looks to be dead now. I used this for a while because I needed something to better highlight code, it has since fallen by the wayside, and I never quite liked it, Smultron always felt a bit off for some reason. Smultron: A free open source text editor with a stupid looking icon.I still love this program, sadly it has given way to some better options. WriteRoom: A fullscreen text file editor from Hog Bay Software, there was about a year period where I only wrote stuff using WriteRoom and couldn’t bring myself to use anything else. ![]() I don’t hate it, but I am also not among those who love it. TextEdit: Apple’s built in text editor and word processing machine, the cheapest and easiest way to work with.((Please email me if I left out one you were wondering about, I probably have tried it at some point.)) The only problem is that I have tried so many I can’t remember them all, so here are my thoughts on the ones that I do remember. Then it dawned on me that I have tried just about every writing tool out there ((I am too poor to try all the iOS writing apps, so I am limiting myself to Mac apps.)), so why not give people my thoughts on these pieces of software. Then I thought I would write a review of the software that I use, specifically Ulysses, that too seemed boring. ![]() I started by trying to talk about how I write, more specifically the workflow that I use, but that turned out to be rather pedestrian and boring.
