In reply to Otto.

Just because a feature doesn't match up with your personal workflow, that doesn't make it dumb. The popularity and prevalence of DFW tools among long-form writers shows that there is definitely a market that prefers them, and perhaps needs them for productivity.

Meeting their needs doesn't seem dumb to me, although focusing on single block highlighting as opposed to decluttering the UI does seem like a misprioritization of the common DFW requests.
