NetBeans supports binary instrumentation for performance analysis on Solaris and Linux platforms, but not Mac OS X. If such instrumentation is required on Mac OS X, the free XCode is available from. Bean is a word processor for Mac OS X. Originally free and open source software Bean became closed source at version 3. However, the Bean executable is still distributed free of charge. According to its author, James Hoover, Bean is not meant to replace Microsoft Word, but to be a lean word processor that is beautiful and user friendly. Many of Bean's operations are carried out by the underlying Cocoa.

I really like the Bean Word Processor for OS X, but I am on Windows. Is there an equivalent program I can use?
Bean App Mac
Bean is provided at no monetary cost. Bean.app is released under The Bean Word Processor Software License. Bean 3.x is closed source. However, Bean 2.4.x is open source (download source code here). Bean comes with no warranty; you assume all the risk of using it. Report bugs, give feedback, or ask questions here: jnrh2001 (at) yahoo (dot) com. May 22, 2020 The latest version of Bean is 3.2 on Mac Informer. It is a perfect match for Office in the Productivity category. The app is developed by James Hoover and its user rating is 4.8 out of 5. BeanCounter is a powerful yet easy to use professional bookkeeping, time tracking, and invoicing application. It features double-entry accounting, multiple currency support, and a simple one window user interface. Manage accounts, clients, projects, merchants, and bills for an unlimited number of businesses.
Bean Osx
I would like something lightweight, with page view (print layout), live word count, and a nice looking interface. None of the minimalist writing programs have page view, and Office / OpenOffice are bloated.
Bean App Mac Os X
I really do think AbiWord, mentioned above, is what you're looking for. It's lightweight, uses page view by default, and has a very customizable user interface that matches its user environment. It doesn't have live word counts by default, but if you open the word count window it will live-update in the background. Not ideal, I realize, but I don't think a completely ideal alternative to Bean exists.
For basic stuff you could use WordPad which comes with every Windows installation.
