| focuswriter "Lovely UI and whatnot. However, it crashed within the first HOUR of using it. Not a good look. I've dealt with more horrendous, unintuitive text editors, but they atleast don't crash. Further, the typewriting sound is a bit glitchy at times, which is something I could forgive if not for its crashes. Perhaps the glitchy sounds were hinting at its instability. I should have heeded its warning. " |

| org.gabmus.notorious "It does what it is expected to do with text. However, I do not enjoy the windows management. When I try to drag it elsewhere, it automatically widens to a length beyond my screen, forcing me to drag it out again and again. Further, if and only if the current content/field is empty, can I really edit my windows size. It refuses to resize properly when it otherwise has some text, like it's extremely slow. Further, I do not understand why the app occasionally reminds me that the text has "changed" and I need to refresh the note; this always makes me a tad anxious, and it also does not reflect the programmer's promise on the app's automatic saving. Or perhaps automatic and seamless are different things. I don't know. Finally, I fail to understand why the app has to automatically move its scrollbar or show the note options whenever I hover over or out of the app. It feels gimmicky and distracting. Overall, besides the promise on serving basic text-based tasks, it has some mild annoyances that can build up exponentially in time. I can't love it, but I recognise its utility. " |
