I can't really recomend this as a proper text editor as it doesn't support rich text and diesn't have nearly as many features as google docs but I can't recommend it as a lightweight text editor as the margins, font size and line spacing are all too big so the window takes up far more of your valuable screen real estate than it has to.

It 'autosaves', but roughly. It doesn't save to the file. So If you accidentally hit the 'new page' button while typing your 500,000 word magnum opus, then your last manual save was a few days ago... then everything is gone. Everything else is great. Clean and lightweight.

I would point out a big 5 star review, but there's one issue: Why, the hell, must there be a scrollbar on the right of my words? I really, really don't understand why. I'd pay for a tool, that is able to serve me a truly, 100 % distraction free screen. Nothing else, but my words. Fix it, charge it, I'll buy it.
