Version: Dark Room 0.8b
"Not the usual word processor"
Pros: Its different and hasn't all those features that distract you from, especially, creative writing.
Its for writing, not formatting, macros, embedding tables or pictures... its simply for writing
Cons: Some necessary features have to be done through shortcuts and so you do have to learn some tricks.

Version: Dark Room 0.8b
Pros: This little novelty program takes you back to old times of DOS and pre-DOS word processing.
Cons: Can not be considered as a real word processor. While you can change fonts and their sizes, you lose any formatting while saving your file, as its saves it in only a .txt format. You can't print with it. Therefore, you must copy/paste your work into a real word processor when you're done typing. Also, MS Word and other processors allow you to change background and font colors into any you might want, so there isn't much practical use for this little program.

Version: Dark Room 0.8b
Pros: It worked very fast, I didn't have any errors with it and I never was distracted by other programs. It also saves in notepad format.
Cons: It didn't have spell check, you can't put images in it and didn't have a lot of of features that were related to writing or to anything else.

Version: Dark Room 0.8b
"Plain, simple, small and allows concentration"
Pros: It is a very plain application. It does not need installation, I guess it is portable.
Black background is also good for not tiring th eyes.
Cons: full-screen mode and smaller modes may be confused. Once you press esc you can return to full-screen only by pressing esc again.

Version: Dark Room 0.8b
Pros: I especially like the color combination. It's not a sterile white to hurt the eyes, instead it is a pleasant mixture of dark against dark. I'm a Children's Author and highly recommend this program as it is non-distracting, non-glare, just straight forward. My eyes become tired easily because I'm always on the computer, but with this program I am able to be productive longer. Many thanks to the programmers.
Cons: Wish it were more configurable, for instance font size, etc.
