Talking of reliable, maintained, Apps do we feel Byword is almost abandoned? For what it does it’s absolutely brilliant.
@BestofTimes For some reason I had kind of forgotten about Acorn since v5. Purchased a new license today for v7. Thanks for posting!
@BestofTimes With you on both apps! I don't even bother reading the release notes for those until after I've paid for the upgrades. Acorn 7 is a good one, too.
@BestofTimes Still using Byword every day. I appreciate the fact that they don't try to add more features. It does what it does and it does it very well…
@BestofTimes I've been using Byword as my only editor for more than 7 years. It does everything I need and nothing I don't. Apart from my writing for the weblog, I use it as a scratch pad.
@BestofTimes I don’t feel any great lack. It is still the main writing app for me, except when I can’t think straight and then I use Folding Text.
@jeroensangers Thanks. I'm sometimes mystified when I read that a product has been "abandoned" because it hasn't changed in a while. Maybe it's just what the creators wanted it to be. You could say that paper clips have been "abandoned" because the design hasn't changed in 100 years, or you could say they do their job perfectly.
