As a reasonably happy user of WriteNow (from V1.0) I thought I might throw
my couple of cents worth in:
1. You can navigate through dialogue boxes from the keyboard
2. Endnote is the best way to seriously deal with references as it
maintains a bibliographic database. If you want a work around for endnotes
when you finished your article save it in MacWrite format then reopen in
WriteNow - instant endnotes!
Of course, it is not perfect - Word certainly isn't - so I have a few
suggestions based upon my usge needs  in production of the usual range of
correspondence as well as academic papers for publication (in rough order
of importance):
1. Variable sized headers and footers, without largest determining size  
throughout document.
2. Publish and Subscribe is important as it obviates the need for many
complex tools within an application, ie. you use the right tool for the
job.
3. Graphics wrap - to allow vertical graphics besides text. It does not
have to be sophisticated.
4. Find by Style.
5. ÒSoftÓ Return, eg. Option + Return - useful in balancing sentences
within a paragraph.
6. ÒBoxedÓ text as a Style option - more useful than some of the ÒexoticÓ
Underline styles.
7. Speed up Text file opening!
8. Vertical scrolling ruler - to estimate size of graphics. (Starts at zero
at the top of each page).
9. Import/export style sheets from/to other word processors.
10.Thesaurus could provide ÒguessesÓ if word not found. (Which brings up
question of why Thesaurus and Dictionary could not be combined - saves
space, etc).
11.Stand-alone dictionary editor.

And definitely NOT necessary:
1. Drawing tools - if you need these use a graphics programme and import. 
	(Except the horizontal line is a nice touch; could this be extended to a
vertical line?).
2. Table of Contents, Index, etc - if you need to use these there are more
suitable programmes available, eg. Pagemaker. Anyhow, indexing is 
basically a manual task as a good index indexes concepts not words!
3. Text manipulation, as distinct from word processing, as there are better
purpose made tools for this purpose, eg. Vantage.
