Writing Zen: Minimalist Word Processor

I’m totally buying a license.

I mean, as soon as it does word count, adds a timer with customizable alarm sounds and graded visual cues, supports hierarchical and free-form faceted tagging, integrates with emacs, checks my pulse, massages my scrote, and provides a weighted, point-based system by which I can interact with and compete against other people who don’t want to be distracted from writing.

Still, you gotta admit. Pretty zen.
