“My master says that the perfect manuscript is a rare thing,” Natsu translated. “He says that you could spend your life looking for one, and it would not be a wasted life.”

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.”

One note, and one note only…
Please, Joe Sullivan, for the love of all that’s holy and good, please STOP. LETTING. DAN. F**&(ING. SHAUGHNESSY. WRITE. ABOUT. THE. PATRIOTS.

Writer.app 1.2 is Out
Writer.app 1.2 – Mac OS X – VersionTracker
From a comment in response to someone else on VersionTracker.:
“I still wish this had the use of the delete button and a spell check. I would even pay real money for this.”

Go figure:
What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Northeast
Judging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak.
