Completely true!  I have been using Frame and WriteNow, and finally
figured out that 80% of the stuff could have been done  in Edit (and
has anyone compared file sizes in the three formats??? ;-) Just try
it somtime... ;-)

WriteNow usually won't do very much more than Edit, then I use Frame
(or for _real_ assignments and jobs :-), and Edit is fast, compact,
and very easy to use.  And much easier to integrate later in a shell
with *roff...
