The conditioning factor is, as always, the usability of the editor interface to writers who have never used anything else (or even know that anything else exists).

Fonto Editor is a huge step in the right direction, but has chosen the path of adherence to the Word paradigm for its familiarity, rather than the path of using the familiarity of the same widgets to implement the gathering of authorial intent. It would be nice to see Fonto tested with an alternative interface to do this.
