what makes ulysses so great? well, im sure there are multiple reasons that cant be figured out. however, lets look at some simple things first.
first, anyone can write a story. however, only a few people have the ability to write an engaging story.
second, anyone can "flower" up a story. meaning, adding flavor text. most tend to either way over, or way under do this. however, a select few writers know how to add just what is needed for both information and experience.
ulysses does both of those things masterfully.
just my very tired thoughts at the moment.
