Bean is a small, easy-to-use word processor that includes:

a live word count
a Get Info panel for in-depth statistics
a zoom-slider to easily change the view scale
an Inspector panel with lots of sliders
date-stamped backups
autosaving
a page layout mode
an alternate colors option (e.g., white text on blue)
selection of text by text style, paragraph style, color, etc.
a floating windows option (like Stickies has)
all of Cocoa's good stuff (dictionary, word completion, etc.)
