I just tested SmartEdit, briefly, with 60 pages of current work. So far, so easy and good (the software, that is, not the 60 pages…). I like the “ignored phrases” and “cliches” features too. I also like the naming and shaming of adverbs. Five minutes ago I was proud of what I thought was my record of shunning adverbs. No longer.
