I'm confused. The text is about WriteMonkey. Is your point that WriteMonkey has these features, too? Or is someone using IA to write about WriteMonkey?

Not really, WriteMonkey3 beta is quite different, also more complicated to use for newbies. It is just a sample file that was open.
The reason for writemonkey3 in screenshot is it was there in iA from before, and showed up after updating iA. BTW I asked WirteMonkey3 dev to make that .md file last year as a tut, command shortcuts etc.
Secondly that file has a long TOC list (outline of headings subheadings) which shows off the unique feature of new iA lib column: showing .md chapter sections in the file manager column.
I've also emailed them to add an icon at top of that column to Show/Hide Outline view so can choose between that (long list of outline) or list of files (many for me, long list).

The fourth, right section, is Preview, separate pop-up window, sync-scrolls well with editor.
The DropBox (free cloud) folder works well with cloud too, cheap one-off payment, many free open source quality apps available too.
But this forum has recently become advertising mainly for subscription apps only a few use. Usually no interest in free open source secure quality apps with links to personal secure free cloud accounts. I almost did not post this on either., like many apps I use and not mentioned here, also too busy to check threads nowadays.

What they call an "outline" is usually called a Table of Contents, and what they call "titles" are usually called headings.
Otherwise the new features look interesting and useful.

I think their mother tongue is German. IIRC it cost me twenty dollars last year after the trial period ended. Also if IIRC they've made a million or two or more from it, mainly sales for the Mac version and now employ a small team.
The main use of iA is for short piece writers, articles or Static-websites pages or .md blog posts etc. As the reference and formatting for markdown tags is built into the interface, hence not needing to remember them. There are other options on desktop or Android/Chromebook.
