A Hopelessly Obsolete Heap of Trash.
It was marginally useful 10 years ago but by now it's a ridiculously obsolete pile of junk. Doesn't even have section collapsing, that's ridiculous. And they still haven't fixed the bug that sends you to your previous editing position when you want to add a line break in another document; makes you wonder what idiot is working on this, if anyone. In a nutshell, garbage.
Pros:
it's free
there is a (bug-infested) portable version
Cons:
everything else More
