I saw this in a magazine, it seems quite good on first impressions. Though its insitence on gender neutrality is quite annoying.

I find the plagarism detector laughable. It'll ping automatically on direct quotes, and if someone knows they're plagarizing then they won't even use it.

It thinks I should be using more transitional works like Therefore. No thanks.

I submitted some of my writing and it threatened to fillet me like a kipper.

I've tried it, and it worked pretty well. It caught some things that my spellcheck in Open Office missed altogether, like double words and homonym errors. It works great as a second editing tool, but I found that I had to perform a third editing all the same.

Well, no computer program would be able to do that job for you, but it does seem better than a normal spell checker.
