I do certainly hate this mentality on HN where every single time someone posts some new interesting webapp then someone comes to try to rain on the other person's parade.

This is simply not ok and goes totally against HN's mentality IMHO.

This "article" from 13 march 2013 is clearly an "answer" to the very recent new text editor for writers / proofreaders (where people can collaboratively work on the same text) that made it to the frontpage.

Please please please do not upvote this "article".

This is just a "contrarian" entry by a frustrated person trying to surf on the success of the recent new text editor for writers.

And by all means: please do try to enhance the tools we have and create new great webapps and do not pay attention to the frustrated contrarians.
