Review summary

Users love GhostText’s realtime sync and strong editor integration (notably Emacs), calling it a great replacement for older tools and a big workflow improvement. Common criticisms focus on missing keyboard shortcuts/auto-trigger options and occasional connection/sync reliability problems (one-way syncing, inability to reliably disconnect, duplicate editor frames).

Pros

Realtime, seamless sync between textareas and external editors (feels great to use)
Strong editor integration—especially with Emacs (many users praise this)
Improves workflows: makes coding and typing long texts on websites much smoother
Good replacement for the old "It's All Text" workflow (works with modern compose boxes like Gmail)

Cons

No keyboard shortcut or automatic trigger (users ask for hotkey/auto-focus activation)
Connection/sync reliability issues (reports of one-way sync, trouble disconnecting, duplicate editor windows/frames)
