in just a few words

buy this if you think the syntax control is worth 20$.

beyond that, incomplete markdown (no control over line breaks? new line vs. new paragraph? that’s pretty basic stuff) and a different typeface from one view to another (the workflow feature basically just changes fonts.) a perfect example would be the read mode, which doesn’t even show the final formatting (you have to preview in a separate window if you want to see where you’re at in terms of formatting.)

needs some SERIOUS updates to live up to what it promises.
