Many nifty little improvements of late. Here’s one this week:
This version introduces a new Spotlight feature. The Spotlight is a view mode dimming out everything except the fragment of document you are working on:

The only thing which keeps Atlantis from being the best word processor available for any platform is the lack of comments. I use it for first drafts but then have to switch for revisions. It’s frustrating because they’ve a lot of bells and whistles which are far less useful.

Small, quick and plenty of features. A very good replacement for MS Word, but unfortunately not for general technical writing.
a) Equations written with the new MS editor: they cannot be seen in a docx using Atlantis and are deleted after saving it;
b) Classic (OLE MS Equation 3.0) equations: they are turned into simple images and cannot be edited afterwards.
Other good MS Word replacements are able to manage equations of type b): WPS (Kingsoft) Writer and Textmaker come to mind. I hope to be wrong, but I do not know any replacement that is able to manage equations of type a).

You are correct Atlantis is not a replacement for MS Word and some others, it’s not meant to be in my opinion. To me it is best as a straight forward word processor (manipulator). I also have MS Word for only one reason; it handles the copy and paste formatting from email like no one else can (I’ve tried Kingsoft, Libre office, etc).
