The problem with Word or Libre Office is that once you've fight several long ours to make you layout or template perfect, there is always something not quite right. And when you're writing, you have to select the text where you want to change the styles on.
Using Markdown or Textile (with an already made CSS) makes it really easy to just write, hit a button and BANG, document is there, ready to be emailed.
Plus I see this process (easy Markdown editor) to be very usable with tablet devices.
But maybe we are wrong, this is why we were asking here ;)
Did I answer your questions?
But the other day, after having bought a new computer, I did give a go to this beta Unity.
It's definitively not my taste, BUT I can see why this was made. It's clearly simpler than anything I've tried before on Linux. The "start key" open a sort of menu, type to search apps, all in the bar make sense, I'm not fond of the global menu, but well, people seems to like it.
We have to keep in mind that it's just the first release, and it'll evolve in the future, but after having tried it I went from a complete hater to a "well ok, it has it's place".
After 2 days I moved back to my simple and light openbox/tint2 combo, but well, this is only because I'm not the target market for Unity. Unity is for people not for hackers.
Regarding my relationship, we've got a very close one, but obviously we do thing on our side in the evening. Sometime I'll reading or gaming and she'll doing something else. But we like to keep the "going to bed together" and "having breakfast together" as much as possible. It's just more quality time added to our relationship.
This year I came with http://www.planettoaster.com and this week end was really intense (doing solo).
