WordGrinder is a word processor for processing words. It is not WYSIWYG. It is not point and click. It is not a desktop publisher. It is not a text editor. It does not do fonts and it barely does styles. What it does do is words. It's designed for writing text. It gets out of your way and lets you type.
The author wrote it to have something to write novels on.
Features you might like:
Ultra-clean, uncluttered display.
Looks good even on a terminal.
Single- and double-width Unicode character support. No right-to-left or combining characters, unfortunately, but everything else should work.
Intuitive, friendly menu system and fast-access keyboard shortcuts. The keyboard shortcuts are all configurable from within WordGrinder.
All configuration settings get saved automatically in your document.
Just enough character and paragraph style support to let you get the job done, while not enough to let you waste time configuring them.
Multiple documents in a single file.
HTML import and export.
LaTeX and Troff export.
Small and efficient codebase. (6300 lines of code!)
Distraction free writing
