Zoot Grows on You

BrainStorm overcomes the main _limitation_ in manipulating plain text: the potential for multiple discontiguous text selection seems to be a property of rtf and not plain text. MS Word has it; no plain text editor that I’m aware of does. (Maybe someone knows of an exception/)

In BrainStorm, you aren’t really working with chunks of plain text but with ‘paragraphs’ (or however David and Mark designate BrainStorm headings). BrainStorm allows you to multiply select these with vengeance.

So I’m not sure how well experiences with BrainStorm generalize to other plain text applications. I also wonder how Zoot handles the multiple selection problem.
