It's coming. It will be awesome.

This has been a paid advertisement from the creators of Nisus Writer Pro.

Now I know why Nisus Pro is so expensive.

Because of the costly ads on MacNN.

sadly not a paid advertisement. I just happen to like it a lot.

I also happen to hate word. even word 2011. I hate endnote even more but fortunately now Papers does what I need endnote for (be a reference manager that works)...

anyway, the new version is out and it looks pretty good. for me it's not too expensive (academic licence etc) but hey.

surprised no-one else cares, but each to their own. I will go back to my pit now...

I, too, like NWP 2, and join threestain in his recommendation. Even the upgrade price, well, I paid for the last upgrade in 2007, so that means this one is $49 or $5/year price. (Yes, I know, the price goes forward, but you get the idea.)

I have been using Nisus Writer (System 6-9 from 1991-2003) and Nisus Writer Pro (OS X since 2003). It is a competent, powerful program that is also easy to use. Is it perfect? No. But I use it regularly with Mellel (especially for Hebrew projects) and between them they meet all my needs.

When I was in college I used Nisus Writer Pro and it's still the best, easiest, fastest word processor around (sorry Mellel and Bean). I don't feel the new features are worth the upgrade price but NWP and NWE are both excellent.
