Different is not better

Ill never understand this product. Id be ok with that if it werent for the hefty price tag. But they pitch this as a writing app when really its a technical markdown editor suited for, what, bloggers? Im not entirely sure actually. All I know is its rife with unnecessary tools and confusing paradigms.

Why is markup necessary for creative writing? How is littering ones manuscript with hashtags and other formatting symbols an improvement?

Why is there something called an "Inbox" in this product? Does this imply incoming documents from others? Collaboration? Is this app actually used for email? Oh, I guess thats something Ill need to learn before using this super simple non-distracting text editor...

Why are pages called "sheets"? Is that deep innovation ... Or is it marketing?

The product description claims that this app has "everything you need" and then lists "links... Code... Markup... Comments" et al. Exactly zero percent of those are necessary for writing, particularly creative writing.

Its fascinating when a product claims simplicity and intuitive UI yet includes numerous tutorial documents --sorry, I mean "sheets" -- to explain the very features that are supposed to be simple and intuitive.

Had this app cost less, I would have just moved on (see: iA Writer. Another app that tried desperately to gain notice by reinventing everything resulting in a gain of nothing.) But this is one of the more expensive apps out there and it does not live up to the hype and/or the marketing is poorly focused
