Actually, Annie, you might be surprised how many journalists who know what
they're doing and do have a choice still insist on XyWrite. It doesn't get
in my way when I'm writing a story, but it has all the bells and whistles I
need. Obviously it has its flaws (don't get me started), but not everyone
just buys it by rote.
