#2I don't mean to be rude, but what is the utility for this ?
There is plenty of text editor out there, many of them are very good. What is the added value of this tool ?

It's not the first one I've seen, but the general idea is that it lets you write in a completely distraction free environment (when you full-screen it).

#5I love the black background in full screen feature a lot. I have actually wanted to write this (trivial)tool myself. I do not like others (around me) to read my blog posts or emails before I finish writing them. And this is perfect for getting the initial draft to work with. I usually am distracted by what I'd already written before I finish writing what I wanted to write. This tool helps me not do the root of all evil.
Now the black background in full screen thing seems like a bug to some of you. I think it was unintended too (given the name - aquietplace). But it's definitely a useful feature.

You will have to click the middle again (the textbox) to refocus

I think the idea is to have the simplest writing tool (no menus, no gadgets, no distracting items). Nice idea.

#8If it could save automatically to a note in evernote/dropbox/whatever with a name automatically created from date of creation, it would be great.

#9I generally like distraction free writing environments, but i doubt that it's really a good idea to have such without the ability to open / manage multiple "files". If you have to type everything into one textbox, without the possibility to switch context, you are IMO likely to be distracted by what you wrote earlier.
Nonetheless, nice tool!

#10It was not obvious to me how to save my work, other than as a webpage.
