You know, because you can only
display one file at a time, what's the real difference between having "multiple documents open", and "only 1 document open"? I'd say, the difference is zero. What matters, is to be able to
switch between two or more files reasonably fast. One tap would be nice, but I can live with the 2 taps in Nebulous Notes. Files are auto-saved to Dropbox there, so all you ever need is those 2 taps to both save & switch between files.
What I often do, if I find out I need to edit a text file more extensively, is that I just tap out of Nebulous Notes, open my MacBook (the file is instantly there, thanks to Dropbox), and continue editing the file there. Another option is to push a button on the Logitech bluetooth keyboard and continue editing the file on the iPad in Nebulous Notes using touch-typing, which increases efficiency dramatically.
In any case, as mentioned, I prefer not to engage in anything but
light text editing on a handheld device, iOS or Android, so the flexibility offered by Nebulous Notes suits me perfectly. (I wish I could find a smilar "Dropbox text editor" on Android! The closest I have seen so far, seems to be Minutes, but it's not Dropbox-
wide, and so is incompatible with my workflow.)
What's important for me is that Nebulous Notes works with 100% standard plain-text files, so that I can pick them up on Mac OS or especially Windows (EditPlus is my favourite editor there) at any time and resume editing the file there wherever I left off on the handheld device. (Or vice versa.) I avoided getting into Evernote because it doesn't use standard TXT files.
