BrainStorm? You cannot do anything but plain text, but it does have some clever and useful features.

One of the most elegant solutions is WriteMonkey, which is a markdown-based outliner/text/word processor.

Now available for Mac, Windows and Linux (http://writemonkey.com/wm3/).

If you want full access to all the plugins, you can make a donation, but even the base app is very powerful.

Otherwise there’s always the charming Bean, a micro word processor that’s actually very enjoyable to use and still under development (it’s been around for ages!). Despite its simplicity (and tiny footprint), it has some surprisingly advanced features (e.g. columns, templates), but doesn’t support footnotes or stylesheets. It’s not an outliner, but it has a quick and simple file access navigation bar, so can be used as a kind of simple authoring tool.

Cheers,
Bill
