It looks like an admirable client, function-wide, judging by screenshots I
have seen (not too impressive in terms of aesthetics, but that's
subjective). There is nothing more satisfying *sick grin* than finding out
that somebody else is disappointed with a tool that you never use. Yesterday
I got the following E-mail:

I advised him to use LaTeX, but he didn't listen...
