It too has full-screen text editing, although it doesn't scroll the way I'd like it to so you spend a lot of time down at the bottom of the screen unless you [CR] your way down a few dozen lines. What entertains me about WriteRoom is its "Edit-In" stuff - i.e. you can just say in Mail "Edit my reply in WriteRoom" and you're blocked out and in the text editor. It's a very Pragmatic Programmer way of doing things - Textmate did proper full-screen and did the same, it might even become the perfect editor. That all said.... $24.95 for a text editor? WTF?!
