The goal: find or build something that only lets you write, so you don't get distracted by anything else on the device.

You should always use the smallest legible font in your wordprocessor. Otherwise, the resulting PDF will be too heavy and will make your electrical wiring burst.

You know what I miss in word processors: Show Control Codes.

That gave you everything you needed to know why this thing won't do what you want it to and why this other thing is stuck and you can't move it. It also made it so much easier to troubleshoot inserting images.

There were no secrets.

Microsoft Word keeps secrets and I don't like it.

I've been hunting for something to replace my venerable Word 2003 for years and have recently stumbled over #AtlantisWordProcessor

It is near-perfect in looks, speed and customisation. There are the usual problems with getting a perfect 1:1 layout from MS Word or LibreOffice, but there's only one feature that really keeps me from switching over: It doesn't seem to be able to read or make character styles (as opposed to paragraph style templates, which work very well).

For all of you who don't need that one feature (or scripting or VBA) and never quite got comfy with Libre Office, this shareware is a good, lightweight alternative to other word processors and that at $49 for a life-time license.
