The Focus Mode in Drafts 5 duplicates Edit’s static, neverending page - yet does approximately one million more things if wanted too, all out of the way. And Focus Mode is available in the free edition. So I don’t see the point of using Edit since Drafts 5 Free does the same thing with much, much more under the hood.

Then don’t use it? Really, it’s about simple. Sometimes that’s appealing.

Hey, I *don’t* use it! :)
And I’m pointing out that a more capable app that’s a superset is free! :) :)

Relative complexity has advantages in many circumstances - but in some circumstances, so also does simplicity.

If you use the free download version of Drafts 5 and turn on Focus Mode, it’s as simple as it gets - a plain sheet with a keyboard that’s got an enhanced bar with an action button for copying/mailing/iMessaging (and a Drafts button if you want to save or access saved files.
