WrongRoom [dive into mark]
Here’s the basic problem: you’re writing a text editor. Stop doing that. It’s 2007. Saying to yourself “I’m gonna build my own text editor” is as silly as saying “I’m gonna build my own build system” or “I’m gonna build my own amusement park.”

🙂 He doesn’t touch on Writer.app, and I think he kind of misses the point. Well, or maybe WriteRoom does, if Mark is right.

What we’re trying to do with Writer.app is focus. It’s a *drafting* tool. Get that first draft done. Stop procrastinating. Get writing.

At any rate, it’s a rant, and it tangentially touches on something near and dear to my heart. I don’t necessarily agree with him and his annoying condescension, but I guess that’s Mark.
