Hi Mat,
I think it is considered important and atm it is the time to have this type 
of discussion.

I can see your point, that there could be a "faster" workflow but I don't 
see any suggestion, how "the" fast workflow should look like. 

I did some searching: "javascript distraction free writing" 
and found: http://litewrite.net which seems to have a nice note taking 
workflow. .... at least for me. 

* I think, it would be easy to create a TW theme that has a minimal UI like 
this one.
  * especially the "Alt + up", "Alt + down" Alt+n ... keys are nice
  * uses the first line as the tiddler title

* I could think about a possibility to have "Alt+t" to create a new tag 
  * and display it somewhere
* Some other Keyboard shortcuts to mark a text block -> convert it to a 
tiddler -> insert a transclusion in place ....

* The "remote storage thing" seems to be interesting too. 


* I did some fast tests and also found things I don't like
  * 400kByte minified source code. So I wouldn't want to add it to TW5. ... 
Only the workflow is nice.
  * The license doesn't fit to TW
  * allways uses the first line as a tiddler title :/
  * 

So we should just steal the workflow :) and add a button to switch themes 
back and forth.

have fun!
