I tried it. It's kind of clunky and weird but intriguing. Some of the 
labels are still in a foreign language. First I thought it was German, but 
I think it's Norwegian. The default spell check language is Norwegian. It 
does strange things, such as substituting "/" if you type "--", and it's 
hard to find out why or how to change it.

I think that if there were full attention to these details it would be very 
successful, as there is a lot to like about the product. It is surprisingly 
useful for web page design, for example, but the weird aspects made me 
leave it after a while.
