Nisus Writer: Schrödinger’s Word Processor

Source: Hacker News

Article note: I've only played with it casually, but Nisus has had a 35-year run of being "A different take on wordprocessors," sad to hear it's effectively abandoned as everyone involved in maintaining it has basically aged out. Kind of the story of a lot of infrastructure right now. Also interesting: Clear demonstration of how bad the platform churn situation is. It's basically a continuous job to keep a piece of software working on current versions of the major platforms, which is a complete fucking failure of the tech industry.
