Software recommendations for writers

The real beauty of LSB is that it, unlike many all-in-one wrier's desk tools, does not impose any methodology on you. You can use as much or as little of its toolset as you like. I don't use it to anywhere near its full capabilities. But that doesn't make the parts I do use any less useful.
Why not download the free trial and check it out yourself? It takes a little effort to start using it because you first have to impose a little discipline on the way you normally might work. But it's effort well spent. Much like what programmers go through when they start using version control. First it's a pain, but then they soon wonder how they ever worked without it.
The developer is also responsive to customer feedback and suggestions. I don't know how good they are about bug fixes because I've never encountered any bugs with LSB. ;D

Yes, I have a license for this...lovely clean layout, many functions. Thing is, I love it but have never used it properly! Has always struck me as being strict in imposing a kind of methodology of writing (blocks that you can mix and match) rather than the freestyle offered by something like WriteMonkey (that I do actually use). SuperNotecard had an unusual name to begin with - think it was Miss Lonely Notes - then they changed it to SuperNotecard. Just a random piece of interest there...

I am going to contact the developers of the shareware programs mentioned in this thread to see if they are willing to provide us with discounts/giveaways. I'll post here if I get any takers.

This is not for quick writing in my opinion but more for when you are ready to put some things together.

Agreed, cmpm.
On another note, I've had to put ImmersEd aside. I really like the way it's starting to shape up, but it's still quite buggy, unfortunately.

You did report that to the developers, I presume?
