You are quite right, it was just a sudden thought before I hit the submit button that such a tool can actually be just as useful as a WYSIWYG word processor.

Does anyone remember Wordstar? It was not WYSIWYG but it was perfectly usable. I wrote hundreds of pages of documentation using it on a Z80 extension to an Apple ][. In my opinion such a word processor is in fact more productive than WYSIWYG. Moving to MS Word was a step backwards.

I think it fits. But also so do programs like notepad.

You literally get what you see.

Type some text.

There ya go. Its some text.
