The lightness of txtful

The other day I came across an old post on John Gruber's excellent Daring Fireball blog that captures why txtful feels so light and fast for getting things done. 

To summarize he posits that tasks done on a screen feel heavier or more onerous based on the number of "nouns" or elements you have to deal with.  He uses the example of IM feeling lighter than email because you don't have to deal with the To and Subject fields as well as the Send button. 

With txtful it's the same way.  You don't have to deal with the address bar and all the usual form fields, buttons and clicks.  Just start a new message, type and send.  

Thanks for the helpful analysis and validation John!
