Bean: Lightweight word processor for OS X
Bean is a newly released, light weight, word processor for Mac OS X that promises the following features:
* a live word count
* a Get Info panel for in-depth statistics
* a zoom-slider to easily change the view scale
* an Inspector panel with lots of sliders
* date-stamped backups
* autosaving
* a page layout mode
* an alternate colors option (e.g., white text on blue)
* an option to show invisible characters (tabs, returns, spaces)
* selection of text by text style, paragraph style, color, etc.
* a floating windows option (like Stickies has)
* easy to use menus
* remembers cursor postion (excluding .txt, .html, .webarchive formats)
* all of Cocoa’s good stuff (dictionary, word completion, etc.)
Bean is easy to use and supports a ton of formats. If Microsoft Office and OpenOffice aren’t for you, give Bean a try. Anyone out there jumped on the Bean bandwagon yet? Please share your thoughts in the comments.

Now, if I used a Mac, I’d have to go out and get the software that was named after me.
