Each editor has its own advantages and disadvantages. Some are easy to use while others have difficulties with the interface or additional tools.

It is not quite right to say that one editor is better than the other. Everything depends on the tasks and features required by the user.

The most common editors can be divided into three categories: word processors, plain text editors and all-in-one solutions.

Word processors are designed for a streamlined writing experience. They do not contain many features, but they have all the necessary formatting tools including bold/italic/underline fonts, paragraph indents, numbered lists, bullet points and more. The most popular word processor is Microsoft Word which comes as part of Office suite.

Plain text editors are simple programs that allow you to write without formatting. Instead of direct formatting, they use markup text languages such as HTML or Markdown which allows you to convert text into other formats later on if you want to publish it online or share with your friends. Among plain text editors is Notepad++ – a great choice for quick note taking or small code snippets.

Focusing on large amounts of text in the era of Internet surfing and general lack of attention is not easy – but, fortunately, technology can not only distract but also help us in our work. In this article, we will consider three text editors, which seemed to us the most convenient.

OmmWriter

The application is intended for authors whose creative impulses regularly stumble on fear of a white sheet. The OmmWriter allows you to make a white sheet of ashtray-gray, divorced blue, orange-purple or pistachio-green with one click. As you print, the background color will gradually change shade.

Several variants of fonts, several pins – and this is where the concise list of options OmmWriter ends, leaving the author alone with the desire to immediately compose something beautiful.

Final Draft

The Final Draft is a kind of magic wand that turns an ordinary user into a wizard: it has all the necessary functions for writing a script (except, understandably, inspiration and language skills). The application allows you to navigate through the characters and scenes, check spelling in 16 languages, provide pages with watermarks – and this is not counting all the basic functions required for any text editor.

Write app

For those who do not have enough minimalism alone, but lack a convenient systematization of files, there is Write. The main advantage of the application is a convenient system of organization and storage of documents (those who always can not remember where and what they saved, will especially appreciate it). And, of course, you can store your archive in the cloud, saving yourself the need to transfer files back and forth.

The minimum settings – font size and line spacing, design theme – are compensated by pleasant little things like the ability to instantly share written in social networks or send to e-mail.

Twitter is one of the most trending social networking sites. With more and more celebs joining Twitter and more and more people following them, the rate at which Twitter is growing is insane

I recently logged into my Orkut account and accepted a friend request that I had received. Upon accepting the request I gave that person’s profile a visit but there was something unusual about that profile.

The profile had a totally different look which contrasted the default Orkut look. The above screenshot is what the profile looked like. While I explored the profile a bit, I came across a ‘get this theme‘ link on the top. Upon clicking that link, I got directed to a themes page which had some themes displayed. There were 12 themes on that page and among those, 7 were ready to be chosen and others had the coming soon tag. Beach, Country side, Spring time, Winter, JR – the friendly giant were some of the themes available. All of these carried a good design and were a nice replacement for the default interface.

But I couldn’t understand this theme-thing completely. While these worked perfectly with one profile, I couldn’t get them to change another profile’s look. When I visited my skinned profile from another account, I couldn’t see any change and neither could I find any ‘get this theme’ link. Contrary to this, my skinned profile showed everything correctly and was carrying the theme pretty well.

Maybe the Orkut team is upto adding this feature to user profiles but it’s not ready yet. I don’t know wether this feature is available to some users or users of any specific country like happened in the case of ‘Orkut Applications’, which were initially available to people residing in Estonia. Some people might have experienced this thing but it’s surely not available publicly. Did you encounter something of this sort ?
