Precisely... And that's *ALL* that's needed for HTML. No formatting, no 
auto-indenting, no fancy fonts, just *PLAIN TEXT EDITING*. That's all 
HTML needs.

And for my nickel, quite frankly, it doesn't do *ANY* of them worth a 
pinch of petrified poodle puke. It may in fact qualify as one of the 
sorriest desecrations of the programmer's art to be passed off as an 
application in the history of computers. Bloated beyond anything 
resembling even the most liberal definition of reasonable, lamer than a 
three-legged horse, and about as user-freindly as a wad of barbed-wired 
toilet paper. 

No thanks... You can keep your MS-Word (and MS-anything-else, for that 
matter) and I'll stick to my Mac, with programs that will let me dash 
off a note to Mom without requiring 85% of whatever system resources 
you're lucky enough to have available after that ungodly perversion that 
pretends to be an operating system loads.

(No, you're not imagining things... I do indeed despise microsoft 
products, and wouldn't have them on my machine for any amount of money)
