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.
